Away From The Practice of Law
I have served on many different Boards including the West Des Moines Little League, Holiday Park Baseball Club and Farmers State Bank. I have been a mentor at the United States Army War College. I enjoy collecting baseball and political memorabilia. I have been active as a youth baseball coach with some of those players becoming Major Leaguers, high level NCAA Division I players and NCAA Division II All-American.
