I was born here in Minnesota but grew up near Green Bay, Wisconsin. Yes I was a die hard cheese head.

I moved to Minnesota in 1994 to attend the University of Minnesota. I received a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science in 1999.

I've worked in IT since 1997 and worked at a medical device company in the IT department for 10 years before going out on my own with Yerkotech.

I am married to Lindsay and the father of 5, 4 girls and a boy. We attend Heritage Baptist church in Blaine. We believe in raising our children with strong Christian values and depend on our close relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

I wear many hats at Yerkotech, from marketing, sales, consulting and support to the vision and direction of the company.

I was born and raised in Minnesota and have lived here all my life.  Much to the surprise of my parents, I maintained good grades throughout school and didn’t cause them too much trouble.

I graduated from Dunwoody in 1985 with an AS in Computer Systems, and went to work for the Telephone Company.  I stayed in the telecommunications industry as a service tech working on networks, telephone systems and audio/video equipment until I came to work for Yerkotech in early 2010.

I am married to Theresa and have 3 grown children.  When I’m not working with computers and networks, I can be found playing music.  I am in 2 bands, a bluegrass group where I sing and play bass, and a group that does folk originals called Juan Roberto and the Bubble Bakery Orchestra, where I sing as well as play mandolin and bass.

My relationship with God is very important to me, and I try to reflect that in everything I do.  I am glad that I can work in an environment that encourages spiritual as well as professional growth.

I am a first generation, American born, Norwegian. Yah-sure, you betcha! My parents and older brother came from Norway to the United States in 1947. My parents settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I was born. I was raised in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

Over the years, I've worked in a variety of office settings and have worn almost every hat imaginable. From a local school district, to a leadership training ministry in the Twin Cities, to a rustic training facility in the north woods of northern Minnesota -these experiences have been very rich for me. I began working for Yerkotech in the fall of 2008. I have enjoyed the challenge of learning new things, meeting new people, and making a difference wherever I can.

My husband, Jim, and I have been married for over 34 years and have two adult children, Laura and Peter,and a new daughter-in-law, Sarah. Christian values and family commitments are an important part of our lives. I enjoy fishing, watching eagles soar, and drinking coffee while playing cribbage with my husband. It is with great passion and excitement that I am involved with the Women's Ministry at River of Life Church in Elk River.

At Yerkotech, I am the person to whom you speak when you call us. Know that I am ready to respond to your requests in any way that I can and to answer your questions to the best of my ability.
