There are few things more enjoyable then a day on the water or sitting in a deer stand, but this reality is becoming more and more a thing of the past for many people. With gas hitting $4.00 a gallon, it is just to much for many families. I want to thank you for visiting my web site and I hope you take a couple of minutes to learn a little more about who I am and what I believe in. Childhood: Growing up I remember many times going up to my grandparents resort on the Scenic Highway north of Grand Rapids and Bovey. This was where I remember fishing off of the dock catching little sunnies, learning how to swim and learning how to track in the woods. I remember walking down to the mail box picking blueberries and finding mushrooms for grandma. In the mid-70's my grandmother passed away and grandpa moved into Bovey where we would walk up the hill and look into the mines. I remember my grandpa's white car turning red as he drove us into the mines. It really was pretty cool seeing all of the big trucks. My greatest childhood memories were in northern Minnesota. Adulthood: I was 24 when my grandfather passed away and I love to visit Grand Rapids where they are buried. It amazes me how much things have changed and how much they have stayed the same. We always stay at the Sawmill Inn when we stay over night, which used to be the Holiday Inn back in the late 70's and early 80's (not sure when they change ownership). I remember after the funeral going out to the resort and removing the resort sign which still hangs in my basement. I love history because it always brings me back to where I came from. Today I hunt, fish, snowmobile, ice fish, ATV, Scuba Dive and ski in northern Minnesota. I also love to go antler hunting in the spring - I have not done as well as I would like, but there are many more opportunities to find that great shed. As a family we love to go up the north shore to Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock and a little out of the way rest stop just north of Duluth for sandwiches every time we drive by. Minnesota has so much to offer from the BWCA to Ice Fishing on Rainy to Diving in the Crosby Mines. I also love to go Bass fishing in the Chisago Lakes area and Walleye fishing at Mille Lacs.  It just is a great place to raise a family. Right now Washington has an all out assault on the family, with energy, food and everything else continuing to rise faster then families can keep up, it is time for a change. But a change we can afford. I ask for your help this fall in sending me to Washington where I will use my years of business experience to make some meaningful changes.
