Hockey Experience: Started playing hockey in NW Rochester in 1958. Played up through midgets, and was a member of all-city teams at that early times. Played High School hockey at John Marshall as a junior and at Mayo as a senior. Played freshman college hockey at Bemidji and some junior hockey at Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Since the end of "competitive" hockey I have stayed involved by playing in men's leagues, and Sunday mornings with the Mayo Clinic group, and then on to the MJDHL.

How did you get your start with MJDHL: Got my start in the MJDHL by invitation.

Started playing with MJDHL: Have been with the group from the beginning.

Occupation: I am retired from Mayo Clinic after 38+ years.
