2025 Board of directors

VICE CHAIR

I grew up on a farm/ranch in Ray, ND.  Went to college at NDSU in Fargo, ND, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering.  I work for KLJ Engineering in Williston, ND, as a licensed professional civil engineer.  My professional career in the transportation discipline specializes in aviation by providing engineering services for general aviation and commercial service airports in North Dakota and Montana, with a majority of the work within the NW corner of ND and Eastern Montana.  By working with the airport clients, cities, counties, North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, Federal Aviation Authority, and contractors, we are working towards maintaining, improving, and expanding the needs in aviation for our local communities.  These airports support our local businesses and communities by providing medivac flights, agricultural spraying operations, private business operations, military and border patrol operations, and commercial air travel operations for some examples.  I am also an active part of our family farm/ranch in Ray, ND, the fifth generation.  A few activities I enjoy in my own time include reading, music, hunting, and flying my drone.  I have been on the board of directors for the Williston Area Chamber of Commerce since 2023, previously on the board of directors for the Western Star Foundation in 2024, and on the WACC agriculture committee since 2024.  I am proud to continue to work and support our local area by being involved in our community.
