2025 Board of Directors Candidate Information
Love the blues and I have been involved with the Minnesota Blues Society since 2016. I have taken on the responsibilities of chairman of the Membership Committee. It has been very rewarding to be able to manage the membership of the Society. I would proudly continue to perform my role as director of membership .
I have been an avid music fan from a very young age. Over the last 30 years I have been involved in the promotion of live music which led to my becoming the president of the Hambone Music Festival.
My concentration on the MnBs Board has been working in sponsorship and social media. I look forward to continue this work.
