I’ve been blessed to be married to my wonderful wife for 61 years, and together we’ve raised three amazing children and are proud grandparents to seven. As a Vietnam veteran, I’m honored to have served my country for four years. After 40 fulfilling years in production management and sales for a printing company, I retired but kept busy, working part-time with King Construction for the past 12 years and helping a farmer friend during spring planting and fall harvest. Deeply rooted in faith, my wife and I are actively involved in our church community. In my spare time, I enjoy tending to our acreage in Northwest Iowa Falls, spending time with family, hunting, and exploring the outdoors.
