meet My Family

Family is at the center of who I am and the reason I care so deeply about our community. My wife, Becky, and I have raised three children - Jesse, Nicole, and Cody — who have been the greatest joys of our lives.

Jesse and his wife Abby, have given us two wonderful grandchildren. Nicole is currently completing her master’s degree in social work. Cody, is engaged and beginning the next chapter of his life. I firmly believe that the solid foundation of SD roots is the reason they are the amazing people they are today.

It has been a pleasure to call Madison, South Dakota home for over 25 years,
