Give a short biography of yourself.
My family’s connections to Mille Lacs County date back to the late 1940’s when my dad and uncle moved to the Milaca area to begin a farming business that is still in operation today. Personally, I am a Mille Lacs County and life-long Milaca area native. I was born in 1972 at the Milaca Area Hospital to Maurice and Marilyn Herzing and am the second born of three children. Some childhood highlights include earning my Eagle Scout badge with Milaca’s Troop 19 in 1988, being a Rum River All-Conference award winner on Milaca’s boys swim team in 1988, 1989, representing Milaca’s speech team at the state speech meet in 1990 and being the salutatorian of my graduating class.
