    Housing and Transportation Director
    Moved back to Galena in 2021 and started working for LT as a Project Assistant, eventually taking on more responsibility, leading to being hired as the Housing & Transportation Director. In my free time, I do whatever that needs to be done and that makes me happy, whether its projects around the house, or bird hunting with my loyal companion Rosie.
