For the last 12 years, I have been an Electrical Lineman for Ameren Illinois, with 3 of those years being a crew leader. I was raised on a farm just outside of Bloomington, Illinois in the small town of Downs. I graduated High School from Tri-Valley and attended McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois on a basketball scholarship. Before getting hired on with Ameren, I worked as an armed security officer for 2 years for Exelon Nuclear Power Plant in Clinton, Illinois. I currently live in Forsyth and work out of the Decatur Operating Center. I've been married to my wife Amber for 15 years. We have 3 kids, Camden (11), Tatum (9), and Jagger (5).
