WE DECIDED RIGHT AWAY WE WANTED TO MOVE BACK
"My wife Lydia and I met in college, we both attended and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Kearney. After college, we lived in Minden, NE for 3 years. In late 2020, my wife and I found out we were expecting our firstborn son Karsten, and decided right away we wanted to move back to my hometown Smith Center to raise our family. My wife is originally from Woodbine IA, but she absolutely loves it in Smith Center. We welcomed our second son garrison into the world in November last year. I am currently the high school social studies teacher and coach high school basketball and junior high football."
