I have been a State employee for 29 ½ years. The majority of my time was working as a Chemical Dependency Counselor. I worked for the Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise programs at Brainerd MN. I continue now doing administrative oversight of the same programs. Overall I have enjoyed my time with the state. I am active in the Union as a Chief Steward for MAPE. I love to fish and hunt. Several years ago I joined SEI as there were no reps in the Brainerd Lakes area. Now we have a few more. I am happy to help others get support of this opportunity.
