I graduated from St Cloud State in 1972 and then made St Cloud my home. Most of my career was in the financial industry, working for a savings and loan and two credit unions. I retired in the spring of 2014, but got bored, so now I work part time delivering drugs and medications to nursing homes and group homes for Guardian Pharmacy. I was active in St Cloud civic groups and my church and served as President of the St Cloud Jaycees, the St.Cloud Kiwanis, St Cloud State Alumni Association, The Wheels, Wings and Water Festival and Atonement Lutheran Church.

I stayed single as a could never find a woman desperate enough to marry me.
