I wanted to take this time to thank the citizens of Wright County for putting their trust and faith in me as the Sheriff of Wright County.
When my wife, Tammy and I moved to Wright County nearly 25 years ago, we did not know anyone within 200 miles of Wright County. To be sworn in as the 28th...
Many years ago, I saw what looked like a completely white red-tailed hawk in the area around the nature center where I have worked for the past 30 years.

When you’ve spent your whole life in one area, it’s hard to sit idly by and watch the community around you change without taking part in it – for most people, that is.

Trailing in her match 9-0 to Big Lake’s Lance Christensen, Bersie was pinned with just two seconds remaining in the third and final period.
“He got me in...
If you ask anyone who knows anything about yours truly, they’d probably give you one of three answers: firstly, that I’ve got a loud and colorful personality; two, that I am 100% in love with Jesus; and three, that I was born to write.
A runner up answer would be that I have some of the most unruly...
Years ago, especially in winter time, I would make chicken pot pies. My grown children still ask, “When are you going to make some of those delicious chicken pot pies?” They were delicious, but a lot of work.
Years ago, when I worked at a deli, when we had chicken left over, we cooked the chicken...
