I was born and raised in Sigourney. After graduation from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Technology degree in 1981, my career took me to several locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Iobtained my MBA from Florida State University and eventually moved back to Sigourney in 1994. My wife, Kathy and I have one daughter, Kristine, who currently resides in Sydney, Australia.

I am the general manager of Duro-Last Roofing, Inc.’s central U.S. facility in Sigourney and company spokesman for their cool roofing, sustainability and architectural education programs. I am also a member of Prairie View United Methodist Church, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons Webb Lodge #182, and have coached swimming and girls track in the community.
