I was born in the farm house on the Schjei family farm south of Brandon MN, which is now known as Long Lake Lodge. I helped with the farming, attended district # 82 country school and Brandon High School.
In 1960 I married Judy Klimek of Alexandria. Our children were born while we lived on the farm, which I operated until 1968. After attending Alexandria Technical College for accounting, I worked at Ludke & Co/Henry's Foods for nearly 40 years.

We raised our four children in Alexandria and lived in the Lake Victoria area. We built a new home in 2000 where I enjoy yard work, gardening and wood working, I also enjoy walleye fishing and have bowled for over fifty years. We have traveled yearly for family reunions, mostly to the western states. We have eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren .
