Neil was raised on his family’s farm near the Quad Cities and worked alongside his father installing floors. A stand-out as a student athlete in high school and later at community college, he walked-on and made the University of Nebraska football team.

While he was in Nebraska, Neil met and married his wife, Brandi. They moved back to the Quad Cities and shortly after returning Neil joined a volunteer fire department in the local community. There he found his calling as a fireman. He earned his paramedic license and then won a position as a paramedic/firefighter on the Moline Fire Department in 2006.

Neil and Brandi reside in Andalusia with their two children, Steel (17) and Sophia (9). The Andersons are all avid athletes and sportsmen, strong supporters of Second Amendment and pro-life causes, and love to travel and enjoy the outdoors together as they focus on service to God, family, and country.
