I married Jill -- a '72 Cooper graduate -- and we have 5 adult children in a blended family and 9 amazing grandchildren: Gracie, Marissa, Raegan, Taya, Whitney, Aiden, Brynn, Raelyn, and Mylah Joyce.

We have lived in Andover MN for the past 31 years and love it. I am a retired meat cutter from Cub Foods, and my wife is a semi-retired school teacher for the Osseo School District. We enjoy traveling, boating on the lake, walks in our beautiful neighborhood, and spending time with our wonderful family.

Favorite memory: The class trip to Sauk Center.
