Raised in the Council Bluffs area, I have been a member of
this community my entire life, and have worked as a Farmers agent for 12
years now. My wife, Patti, who has also spent her entire life
here, has been a Labor and Delivery nurse at Jennie Edmunson hospital
for 36 years, and has helped deliver many Council Bluffs babies! Along
with my wife, I have raised three amazing sons: Bryan, Andrew and
Brent. Bryan is an Iowa State Trooper in the Des Moines area; Andrew is
a CPA with a large firm in Omaha; and Brent is a Pharmacy Technician in
Minneapolis, with plans to pursue a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
My wife and I are active members of our church, St. Paul’s
Lutheran. I am not only a member, but also the president of the
congregation. To serve as president has been a blessed opportunity for
me, and I enjoy the outreach programs that I am able to participate in
through my role as president.
I am also a member of the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce,
as well as a diligent member of BNI (Business Networking International),
where I head the Membership Committee. With this duty, I help recruit
new members to our organization.
