Personal Highlights

When I am not at work, I am spending time with family and friends. I love to entertain guests and host parties at my home, but also enjoy spending time at Okoboji and on our boat, I try to spend as much time up there, relaxing at the lake whenever possible. I have one son left at home and he is a Junior at Northwest Waukee Highschool (Landry), I have 2 kids living in Ames (Decker and Charlie). I spend a lot of time with my 12 year old Labradoodle Baxter Boone.

Personal Highlights

When not at work most of my time is allocated to the running of two stores in Dallas Center, one a boutique antique/gift store and the other an art gallery and concert venue. I enjoy cooking and deep-sea fishing (not easy to do in Iowa), but the building of custom (commissioned) furniture takes up the remainder of my free time anyway.
