\"\"<\/p>\n

Where did you grow up? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Northeast Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Where did you attend college?\u00a0What is your degree in? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

I studied welding at Minneapolis Community & Technical College.<\/p>\n

How long have you been working at Dunwoody?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Four years.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part about working at Dunwoody? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Teaching new students how to weld.<\/p>\n

What are a few of your hobbies?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Volleyball, fishing, and street rods.<\/p>\n

What kind of music do you listen to?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Classic rock or classic country.<\/p>\n

What skill or talent\u00a0have you mastered that you are most proud of?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

I have mastered nothing, but I am a pretty good fabricator.<\/p>\n

What is the best dish you know how to cook? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

What are you\u00a0absolutely determined to do within the next year? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Build a rat rod.<\/p>\n

What three things could you not live without? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Family, friends, and dogs.<\/p>\n

What is something you will never do again? <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Canoe the Brule River in early spring. I got talked into it by a self-appointed expert. Turns out, he was not. The river had a lot of bad rapids and freezing cold water. We also almost froze to death due to spending more time in the water than in the canoe. It was a good life lesson.<\/p>\n

Fun facts:<\/strong><\/h6>\n
    \n
  1. I am a dad of three kids.<\/li>\n
  2. I have one granddaughter.<\/li>\n
  3. I like to ice fish more than I like summer fishing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
