Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am from Hamilton, ND and was raised on a farm there. I am a graduate of UND and my wife Kathie and I moved to Jamestown 49 years ago. I recently retired from Schauer and Associates, P.C. We have twin sons and four grandchildren. We spend as much time as possible at our lake home in MN and enjoy gardening and traveling.
 
Fun Facts:
There were four in my graduating class, Kathie had two. She gets mad when I say I married the prettiest girl in her class.
 
I have been on several fishing trips to various parts of Alaska. Nothing else is like running down the Kenai River at dawn with the sun coming up, the mist lifting off the water and eagles screaming overhead. It’s magical.
