I was born in Grand Forks, ND, to Joan and Ken Guillaume. I am the youngest of four.
Although I was born in Grand Forks, we moved to Iowa when I was young, so I consider Sioux City my hometown. I attended St. Paul's Lutheran grade school (Missouri Synod), and East Middle School (public), before attending Nebraska Lutheran High School (NELHS) in Waco, NE. Nebraska Lutheran is a WELS Area Lutheran High School.
