About Patti

My husband Kris and I live on a hobby farm in the rural community of Norseland, Minnesota, near the city of Saint Peter. We raised our three children here: son Kelten is now a civil engineer in the renewable energy sector; son Brennan is a production supervisor in the manufacturing industry; and daughter Reegan is a junior in college pursuing a degree in health sciences. As a family, we have been very active in 4-H, Trinity Lutheran Church, FIRST robotics program, sporting events, and Green Lake Lutheran Ministries.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, with three brothers and three sisters. A first-generation college student, I worked for 16 years as a college administrator, including five years as Director of Student Activities and six years as Assistant Dean of Students at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter.

I enjoy spending time with our family, camping, horseback riding, and participating in service-oriented mission trips.
