What’s a place you love in the Midwest?

Growing up in southeastern Iowa, I have a lot of fond memories of late-night drives to Shimek State Forest to stargaze and enjoy time with friends. More recently, I discovered Grand Marais and its beautiful harbor along Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.

What drives you to do this work?

I love the Midwest and believe our work will make its communities better and more sustainable for future generations.
