My wife Heidi and I live in rural Underwood. We have two adult children each of whom work in the Fargo/Moorhead area. We are involved in a variety of civic, church and charitable organizations and enjoy and appreciate the ministry of each. More recently, I am honored to serve as District 3 Otter Tail County Commissioner, a new type of public service from my almost 30 years in the Otter Tail County Attorney’s Office.

JAIL Inc. is meaningful in that it serves to enhance the spiritual life of inmates in the Otter Tail County Detention Facility, through a relation-based ministry of one-to-one contact, education, Bible study and worship. Through this ministry lives are changed.
