Everything you need to know about donuts,

ABOUT ME

In my 26 years, I've lived a pretty exciting life. I grew up in Rosemount, MN and played football, basketball and track which led me to North Dakota State University. During my 6 years of eligibility after 2 broken collarbones in football, I studied Sports Marketing, Business Administration and Art.

We created a dynasty at NDSU by winning 5 National Championships during my time and have now won 7 of the last 8. After graduation in 2015, the Vikings invited me to mini camp, but I didn't make the cut. I now have a job in Sales and have taken my love for food to the next level by doing Donut Reviews in my car. I guess you could call me a Food Influencer, but I prefer Donut Aficionado.

I have an amazing fiance, Alex Balke, who is my HS sweetheart and will become Mrs. Vraa in February. She doesn't love donuts nearly as much as I do, but she supports what I do and is always willing to explore all things food with me.

ABOUT THE BLOG

My love for donuts started at a young age and has grown immensely ever since. Because of that, I feel like I can call myself a Donut Aficionado.
