Family Matters
Grew up on a family farm in NE Iowa in Butler County.
My great grand parents came over from Germany and started farming in Iowa.
Went to college in Ankeny and meet my wife of twenty nine years. We moved to Des Moines in 1994 and have five kids. The youngest will be seventeen this summer.
We enjoy spending time with family, bee keeping, building rain barrels, volunteering in the community & at my church, and coaching soccer & softball.

Went to Historical Firetower in 2023 located at 2609 County Road 76 Grand Rapids, MN 55744
The Forest History Center's fire tower was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was moved here from its original location in Bena, and is the only true historic structure on the site (others, like the logging camp and wanigan, are replicas). On a clear day, you can see up to 12 miles away!
The fire tower is 100 feet or ten stories tall, with 126 steps, requiring a significant physical effort to climb.
The fire tower is open during regular business hours.
No more than four people are allowed to climb the fire tower at a time.
