Collin attended Midwest Technical Institute after high school where he completed the welding program; he later worked at Westermeyer Industries for a few years before moving to Nebraska and working at Kawasaki Railcar where he was a fabrication supervisor. Collin was known for his Red Jeep, often joking that it was the perfect color to move to Husker Nation with. In his free time, Collin loved to try new recipes at home, spend time listening to records and collecting all things St. Louis and Budweiser. Collin’s favorite place to be was in St. Louis with his family, spending time at Cardinals baseball games and having a drink with friends. Collin enjoyed spending time with his family, especially in the outdoors. He and Courtney shared many travels and loved to camp, canoe, and hike with their son, Joseph. One of his greatest joys was being a father and sharing his hobbies and interests with Joseph, sharing videos games, anime, music, and more together. One of Collin’s favorite trips was to Huzzah Valley every year followed by a Fourth of July cookout at his grandmother’s house and he was so happy that he was able to share this with Joseph and Courtney in the recent years. Collin also loved spending time with his family and friends on the water fishing as well as hunting. He looked forward to Saturdays spent at the farmers market followed by Husker football with Courtney and Joseph.
