Background |
| |
I grew up in Sacred
Heart Minnesota, a farming community in the |
| |
west central part of
the state. My father owned and operated |
| |
a grain elevator and
also served as the Renville County Treasurer. |
| |
for 20+ years. |
| |
|
| |
I first moved to the
Twin Cities in 1979. I’ve lived in Champlin |
| |
since 1986. and have
worked at Norwest/Wells Fargo for the past |
| |
21 years. |
| |
|
| |
In 1989 I met Ann,
who had lost her first husband to heart disease |
| |
and was raising 3
young children. We were married in 1990. |
| |
Today, our three
adult children have finished college and are |
| |
venturing out into
their careers! |
| |
|
| |
As official "empty
nesters," Ann and I are enjoying this new |
| |
adventure together. |
