Integrity. Accountability. Prosperity.
Meet Todd
A Neighbor, Husband, Father, and Longtime Minnesotan
For more than 30 years, my wife Stacey and I have proudly called Minnesota home. We’ve lived in Burnsville, Farmington, and Apple Valley, supporting local businesses, attending community events, and building strong relationships across Dakota County.
We are active members of Mother Mary of the Church in Burnsville, and I recently joined the Knights of Columbus — a group that has strengthened my faith and my commitment to service.
Family Rooted in Faith, Hard Work, and Community
Stacey and I have been married for 34 wonderful years. We met at Iowa State University, married in college, and built our life together from the ground up. We raised two sons who are now thriving in their careers — Ethan, a Minnesota contractor expecting his first child, and Jonah, a civil engineer in Washington state.
A Lifetime of Service and Hands‑On Work
I grew up as the oldest of eight children on a small hobby farm in Ames, Iowa. We raised livestock, grew crops, and learned the value of hard work and self‑sufficiency. Those early lessons shaped my appreciation for local farmers and the importance of strong, resilient communities.
I’ve owned businesses since college, renovated homes with my brothers, and even helped restore an abandoned 1880s building on the Lincoln Highway — now home to a church and three residential units.
For 22 years, I worked with a Minnesota health insurer, helping small businesses navigate health plans and advocating for employees. I’ve always believed in doing what’s right for people.

Why I’m Running
I’m running because I believe Minnesota can — and should — prosper with integrity and accountability. That means:
Protecting taxpayer dollars
Removing fraud wherever it hides
Supporting families, small businesses, and local communities
Strengthening the values that make Minnesota home
I’ve spent my life serving others, solving problems, and standing up for what’s right. Now I’m ready to bring that same dedication to the Capitol — for Burnsville, for Dakota County, and for Minnesota.
Together, we can build a Minnesota that works — with integrity and accountability.
