I was born and raised in Mankato. I've been married for 32 years and has two grown sons, Trayl and Travis, along with an adorable 8 year old granddaughter, Bailey.

I enjoy carving fish decoys and am a national award winner in this endeavor. I also love to go bow hunting and bass fishing. I retired from being a mail carrier after 31 years this past year (in fact, I was Old Main Village's mail carrier before retiring!) and am now excited to be the van driver for Old Main Village.
