Hailing from Brainerd, Troy has a wealth of experience in sales, having helped run two title loan companies and managed a vehicle pawn shop simultaneously in San Diego. A proud graduate of Brainerd Senior High—”Go Warriors!”—he later earned his bachelor’s degree in business from UMD—”Go Bulldogs!”
Troy shares his life with his significant other, Joan, and their two children, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. He’s passionate about fishing, boating, and swimming with his kids, and he jokingly describes himself as “more mad than gardner” in his pursuit of gardening. Troy also looks forward to teaching his kids the art of fishing, aiming to raise them as “disappointed walleye fishermen.”
A fan of classic cars, he appreciates the craftsmanship of vehicles from the past. In his downtime, he enjoys cooking for others and cheering on his favorite teams: the Vikings, Twins, MN Wild, and LA Chargers. With a dynamic personality and a commitment to family, Troy brings a unique blend of expertise and enthusiasm to his role.
