Biography

I have spent many years of my life enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife that Minnesota has to offer. I enjoy golf, hiking, fishing, rock hounding, fossil hunting, and about any other outdoor activity Minnesota or Northwest Ontario has to offer. I have been married for 35 years and have two grown boys. I have always taught around the twin city and was born here as well so I am very familiar with what our area has to offer the avid outdoor enthusiast. I have hiked and skied the Upper Midwest, Rockies, Tetons, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Arizona. Our world has so much natural beauty to offer and it is always exciting to look forward to the next adventure.
