Nola and I were both born and raised in Bemidji Minnesota. We were married on January 16th 1982.  We traveled around the states for a while, lived in Dallas Texas for a few years and moved to New London Minnesota in June of 85'  I worked for a wonderful telephone engineering firm (http://www.ccfargo.com) there for almost 15 years.  In June of 2000 we moved back to the Bemidji area (Guthrie to be exact).  I now work for Arvig Communications Systems and am the Regional Service Manager for the "North Area" (Walker, Park Rapids, Osage, Longville, Whipholt, Akeley, Nevis, Cass Lake, Bigfork and Bigfalls Minnesota.

I am also a Supervisor with the Township of Guthrie and like to get out to fish, hunt etc.

Nola works at Snow Goose Gifts in Bemidji and loves her horses, cats, rabbits and chickens. .... She dislikes my turkeys and sometimes the dog too..

In 2005, I had a serious appendectomy that could not be closed for three weeks.  If you are really up to a gross picture (you were warned) click here.
