Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a native of North Iowa and grew up on a family farm near Lake Mills in Winnebago County. I lived in the Minneapolis, MN area for a number of years, where I contributed my skills in both civilian life and national service, before returning home to Mason City in 2020. I have had a remarkable military career and currently serve as a Reserve Senior Leader with the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany. With multiple global deployments under my belt, I am looking forward to retiring this spring at the rank of Chief Master Sergeant, marking 29 years of total service. In my civilian career, I work in property management and have previously served as a police officer, where I faced frontline challenges in the mental health, drug, and crime crises that grip our nation. I have been married to Angela for 17 years and cherish our family life with a blended family that includes two adult sons and three granddaughters.
