Max began his career as a field bank examiner during the great recession. He was appointed as Deputy Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce in 2017 where he oversaw all financial institution regulation for the state. In 2023, Max started as the Chief Regulatory Officer for the MN Office of Cannabis Management. In February of this year, he made the leap to the banking world and now is the Chief Risk Officer for North American Banking Company. When not at work, Max spends as much time as possible being outdoors or woodworking. He is pretty bad at both endeavors, as his children are happy to point out. His dad joke game is average at best, his GIF game is strong, and he is a button pusher of high accomplishment.
