Dennis was born and raised in Mohall, North Dakota, a beautiful small town. He proudly graduated from Mohall High School in 1996. Continuing his education, Dennis attended Minot State University and later the prestigious San Francisco College of Mortuary Science, where he excelled and graduated with honors in 2000.


With a passion for helping others during their most challenging moments, Dennis embarked on his professional journey at Wilson & Kratzer Mortuaries. He dedicated himself to serving families with compassion and empathy, eventually becoming a licensed funeral director after completing his apprenticeship. For over 20 years, Dennis called the Sacramento area home, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge in his field.


In 2021, Dennis made the exciting decision to start a new chapter in his life. He relocated to the beautiful state of Montana and settled in the charming town of Lewistown in August 2023.


Family is incredibly important to Dennis. He is a proud father to his son Brayden, who currently resides in sunny California. Additionally, Dennis has several beloved relatives in his hometown of North Dakota.


During his leisure time, Dennis loves staying active and enjoying various sports. He particularly enjoys playing cornhole and weightlifting, which helps him stay fit and energized.
