My position here at Old Main Village is the maintenance director. This allows me to use all my skills and the daily challenges that go with them.

I have over 20 years experience in maintenance, and am a licensed Boiler Engineer and certified a Pool Operator. I have always enjoyed industrial arts and have been trained in welding, foundry, machine shop, power mechanics, electricity,and electronics. My father was a contractor, so I learned many of my skills from him (in the school of “hands on”) such as sheet rocking, plumbing, painting, and woodworking.

Mankato is my hometown! I was born here and have lived here all of my life. My mother even attended school in this very Old Main Village building. I have a daughter in middle school and my son attends high school (he will be in the class of 2012, they grow up so fast!). My two children mean the world to me!

I enjoy family outings, motorcycle riding, camping, motor sports, canoeing, and have even been known to take a cooking class.
