Biography: “Originally from Nebraska, I’ve lived in Iowa now for many years. I graduated from Western Iowa Tech with a degree in station engineering and building maintenance. For several years, I worked in this field, employed in preventive building maintenance, repair, and remodeling. I operated my own remodeling business for a couple of years. In my personal life, I am actively involved in the children’s ministry department at my church as well as in missions. I also volunteer my time at Teen Challenge of the Midlands.”
