My father and mother (in the background) reflect my rural up bringing. Additionally, my father is my inspiration as he served on the Harding County Commission for 32 years. During that time he was appointed to several state boards and served multiple years as Chair of the SD State Commissioner Association. He understood the need to be involved as a civic leader to improve government in South Dakota.
