First Job
As an 11-year-old I would get on a school bus at 7am in the summer and head
to the fields to pick strawberries. We were paid in cash every time you finished
filling a flat. I loved the immediate reward for a job well done and the chance
to be outside all day!
I work best…
When I am surrounding by engaged individuals that trust each other and are
working towards the same goals
Hero
My grandfather, he landed on D-Day and fought through to the Battle of the
Bulge. He returned home and worked hard to create for his family a stable
environment where his sons could excel. He was truly a member of the Greatest
Generation.
Proudest Accomplishment
Meeting my wife and bringing up two amazingly independent children in Northfield, MN
Perfect Day
A hot cup of coffee on the screened-in porch, a walk with the dogs, a day on the
dock with a good book, a slow-putter around the lake on the boat, a long lazy
dinner with friends, ending with a nightcap back on the screened-in porch.
