As a kid growing up in Mounds View Minnesota and attending Totino-Grace High School in Fridley, Ethan “played just about every sport you can imagine.” He credits this with teaching him some important life lessons: from learning how to deal with failures to working with a team to accomplish a goal.
Participating in sports also helped Ethan develop some of his closest friendships, and a deep bond with his parents who owned and operated a baseball-softball training facility for 15 years. Ethan began working with them at age 16 and says, “My parents have influenced me the most when it comes to my work style and values…they’ve taught me what it takes to be a successful person but also a good human being.”
