I have been married over 45 years. We have 4 grown children and 7 grand children. I grew up in North Dakota on two different Dairy Farms. After working in the oilfields for 2 years after high school, I got my agricultural engineering degree at NDSU. I worked for Cargill for 35 years and during that time my MBA was achieved. I am retired but running because of the work that must be done to build back a strong future for rural Minnesota in district 13A.
