After graduation, I worked at Badger Northland in Algoma for the summer. In the fall of 1964, I went to NWTC for one semester for Marketing. I then worked at the Algoma Plywood for a year. After the Plywood, I got a job in sales with Ralston Purina Feed Division from 1966 till 1974. In 1974, I went to work for Northrup King Company Seed Division. After three mergers, I am presently with the same company, now called Syngenta Seeds, Inc. I work in Northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I call on thirty-nine dealers taking seed orders, putting on seminars, and coordinating the distribution of seed. I enjoy four wheeling, fishing in Canada, and traveling in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Ontario, Canada. I have been on the Algoma School Board for over twenty-one years. I have served on the Kewaunee County Fair Board for many years where I am currently President. I enjoy cropping a small farmette and collecting antique tractors. My daughter just got married this month, so I am looking forward to grandchildren.
