My wife, Michelle and I are proud to be second generation owners of The Lakes News Shopper. I grew up in the Lakes Area, and moved back in 2007 after a 10 year college basketball coaching career that took us from Tennessee to Wyoming. Michelle and I have two children, Shaelyn and Tyler.

For me, the Iowa Great Lakes isn’t just home—it’s a passion. I’ve lived here for over three decades and have spent the last 25 years in the marketing industry with one simple mission: helping our local business community win.

I’m honored to serve as a Board Member for the Iowa Great Lakes Area Chamber and stay active with the Spirit Lake Noon Kiwanis. I truly love every season we experience in Okoboji, whether I’m out boating and golfing during our beautiful summers or gearing up for football season. You can usually find me cheering loudly for the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Chicago Bears!

My greatest joy, however, comes from my family. I am the proud parent of three amazing children and a doting grandma to three delightful grandchildren. I look forward to putting my experience to work and helping your business become the next local success story!
