Hi, I’m JJ. I’m from Grand Rapids, Minnesota and started with Family Heritage in July of 2017. I work primarily in my hometown and the surrounding areas covering Northern Minnesota. I have an 8-year-old daughter, Irie, who means the world to me. Before joining FHD, I was a Sales Manager at a marine dealership for almost 10 years and also worked in advertising and auto sales. What I enjoy most about working here is the family we’ve created. There’s no other culture where people genuinely care about each other and want everyone to succeed. Any competition here is friendly — when one person wins, we all win. I’m also able to put my family first, which is incredibly important to me. And of course, the trips with my work family are always amazing! When I’m not working, you can usually find me fishing with friends and family, hunting, or traveling.

The three words that describe me best are family, fun, and caring.

Bucket List:

• Catch a crappie in Minnesota over 16 inches long

• Harvest a 150-inch-plus Minnesota buck

• 
  

Fun Fact:My spirit animal would be a lion because I love my downtime, but when it comes to family or friends, I can be one of the fiercest people you’ll ever meet.
