Publisher

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.

Sales Manager

I’ve lived in the lakes area for over 25 years and there is no better place to call home. I am the current Publicity Director for the Dickinson County Snowhawks and a Board Member of the Spirit Lake Chamber of Commerce!

I have three kids and a grandma to two beautiful little ones. I enjoy the Iowa Great Lakes all four seasons but nothing beats summer in Okoboji!

Jenna

Sales Associate

I’ve had the pleasure of growing up here in the Iowa Great Lakes Area. It’s a wonderful place to call home! My husband, Josh and I live in Spirit Lake with our two kids Avery and Graham. They keep us very busy with different activities! I’ve been a Sales Associate at The LNS since the summer of 2019. In my spare time I enjoy boating, taking our kids to the pool, slow pitch softball, watching college basketball and of course spending time with my family and friends.
