A
A
Grew
up
in
Ames
left
after
I
graduated
from
Iowa
State
for
about
a
decade
and
then
moved
back
six
years
ago.
Well,
my
family's
actually
been
in
Ames
for
about
a
hundred
and
forty
years
you
can
trace
it
back
to
a
homestead
northeast
of
town,
interesting
side.
Note
that
my
great-great-grandfather
was
on
City
Council
back
in
the
1880s,
so
we
have
a
long
family
tradition
in
Ames
and
work
took
me
away
for
a
while,
but
over
the
years
we
kept
moving
closer
and
closer
to
Ames
and
our
last
stop
before
here
was
Des
Moines.
A
We
had
kids,
my
wife
and
I.
We
have
three
boys
and
we
decided
that
they
were
very
young.
We
decided
Ames
is
really
where
we
wanted
to
be
and
have
them
grow
up
and
have
the
same
experiences
that
we
did.
So
we
moved
back
and
been
very
happy
ever
since
my
day,
job
is
with
Nelson
Electric.
It's
a
family
business
we've
been
in
Ames
for
a
hundred
and
six
years,
which
was
one
of
the
other
reasons.
A
We
moved
back
to
Ames
I
had
that
opportunity
and
I'm
vice
president
and
in
business
with
my
father
and
my
brother.
We
do
electrical
contracting
work
around
the
state
of
Iowa
right
now.
It's
a
lot
of
kid
activities
like
I,
said
earlier.
I've
got
three
little
boys,
the
oldest
one,
might
not
like
me,
calling
him
little
he's
13,
but
they're
involved
in
scouting
and
soccer
and
basketball
and
piano
and
all
sorts
of
other
activities,
so
that
keeps
us
very
busy
and
personally
I'm
also
involved
in
a
number
of
other
boards.
A
Nonprofits
in
the
community,
I've
served
aboard
terms
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm,
currently,
chairman
of
the
board
of
the
mainstream
living
here
in
Ames
as
well
for
another
year,
I
enjoy
serving
on
boards
and
commissions.
It's
really
kind
of
what
led
me
to
the
council
direction
as
well,
so
I
had
I
keep
busy
with
that.
What
I
really
like
to
do
when
I
do
have
free
time
is
play
with
the
kids.
A
That's
probably
far
and
away
number
one,
but
I
do
like
to
run
I,
don't
do
it
as
much
as
I'd
like
anymore
I,
also
like
woodworking
building
furniture
like
reading
like
staying
current
on
topics
the
community
and
the
people
here,
really,
what
makes
Ames
great
Ames
is
won
a
lot
of
awards.
It
continues
to
win
a
lot
awards
and
it
doesn't
have
very
much
to
do
with
the
council.
Tell
you
that
right
now
it
has
to
do
with
the
people
in
the
community
and
the
things
that
they
do
and
the
involvement
that
they
have
I.
