I left Basehor in '79 to play football at Saint Mary's of the Plains College. Graduated in '84, got married in '85 and starting working for USDA in Newton, Kansas. We implement all the various Farm and Conservation programs in the county. Will have 34 years come December, and am planning on retiring at the end of the year. I have 4 children - Sara 33, Kirk 30, Sean 29 and Mike 27. I enjoy hunting and fishing in my off time with friends and family.
