Like many youth I went off to college at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and after graduation met my wife Diana and we decided to start our family.&nbsp;\n\nScouting came knocking on my door again while we were in Ironwood, MI and my son Paul brought home a Join Cub Scouts flyer and the journey started again.&nbsp; Paul entered Cub Scouts as a Tiger Cub and as he followed along on his path to Eagle Scout I was their as a parent volunteer, Cub Master and Assistant Scoutmaster.&nbsp;&nbsp;\n\nAs Paul was finishing up his journey and a career change on the horizon, Diana suggested that I look to Scouting as a career as a professional and I was hired as a District Executive in the Gateway Area Council in La Crosse, WI.&nbsp; &nbsp;It must have been a coincidence that I was returning to the council that I had earned my Eagle award.&nbsp; &nbsp;I served in the Gateway for seven years starting out as a District Executive and then as Senior District Executive and as District Director.&nbsp; In those seven years I was responsible for camp operations at Camp Decorah and as Camp Director for one summer.&nbsp; &nbsp;\n\nIn August of 2019 I returned to the Voyageur Area Council to serve as the District Director for the Arrowhead District.&nbsp; &nbsp;My wife Diana has been by my side for all of these years and were are both excited to be in the Duluth area with our chocolate lab, Justice.&nbsp; &nbsp;We have two children that are following their interests.&nbsp; &nbsp;Paul is an Eagle Scout and following his path while our daughter is a student at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.&nbsp; &nbsp;When not promoting Scouting I like to explore new areas, read and search for that next hobby.\n<ul>\n 	<li>\n										218-740-4523</li>\n 	<li>\n										218-409-1600</li>\n 	<li>\n					<a href=\"mailto:Clark.Garthwait@scouting.org\">\nClark.Garthwait@scouting.org\n</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>&nbsp;Jeff Wright - District Chair</h4>\n<ul>\n 	<li>\n										218-391-5178</li>\n 	<li>\n					<a href=\"mailto:hmxjeff@gmail.com\">\nhmxjeff@gmail.com\n</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Bill Berg - District Commissioner</h4>\n<ul>\n 	<li>\n										218-393-0154</li>\n 	<li>\n					<a href=\"mailto:bbergster@gmail.com\">\nbbergster@gmail.com\n</a></li>\n</ul>','Ka\'Niss Ma\'Ingan Lodge','','inherit','closed','closed','','1964-revision-v1','','','2020-07-28 17:43:34','2020-07-28 17:43:34','',1964,'https://vac-bsanew.org/2020/07/28/1964-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1967,2,'2020-07-28 18:04:42','2020-07-28 18:04:42','','Tervor Lesch 1','','inherit','open','closed','','tervor-lesch-1','','','2020-07-28 18:04:42','2020-07-28 18:04:42','',1964,'https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1966,2,'2020-07-28 17:54:23','2020-07-28 17:54:23','','OA Lodge Flap DS_AN','','inherit','open','closed','','oa-lodge-flap-ds_an','','','2020-07-28 17:54:23','2020-07-28 17:54:23','',1964,'https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OA-Lodge-Flap-DS_AN.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1972,2,'2020-07-28 18:46:01','2020-07-28 18:46:01','<img width=\"333\" height=\"151\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OA-Lodge-Flap-DS_AN.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<h3>Lodge Leadership</h3>\n<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\n<h4>Trevor Lesch - Lodge Chief&nbsp;</h4>\nBio or Duties\n<ul>\n 	<li></li>\n 	<li>\n					<a href=\"mailto:hi5tbone@gmail.com\">\nhi5tbone@gmail.com\n</a></li>\n</ul>\n<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-300x300.jpg 300w, https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\n<h4>Ellen Lesch - Lodge Advisor</h4>\nBio or Duties\n<ul>\n 	<li></li>\n 	<li>\n					<a href=\"mailto:eaglehorse3@gmail.com\">\neaglehorse3@gmail.com\n</a></li>\n</ul>','Ka\'Niss Ma\'Ingan','','inherit','closed','closed','','1964-revision-v1','','','2020-07-28 18:46:01','2020-07-28 18:46:01','',1964,'https://vac-bsanew.org/2020/07/28/1964-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1978,2,'2020-07-28 19:05:46','2020-07-28 19:05:46','<img width=\"333\" height=\"151\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OA-Lodge-Flap-DS_AN.jpg\" alt=\"\" />											\n			<h3>Lodge Leadership</h3>		\n										<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Tervor-Lesch-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" />											\n		<h4>Trevor Lesch - Lodge Chief </h4><p>Bio or Duties</p>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"mailto:hi5tbone@gmail.com\">						\n										hi5tbone@gmail.com\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n										<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-300x300.jpg 300w, https://vac-bsanew.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ellen-Lesch-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" />											\n		<h4>Ellen Lesch - Lodge Advisor</h4><p>Bio or Duties</p>		\n					<ul>\n							<li >\n									</li>\n								<li >\n					<a href=\"mailto:eaglehorse3@gmail.com\">						\n										eaglehorse3@gmail.com\n											</a>\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n		<p>The LEC of Ka\'niss Ma\'ingan Lodge is made up of the youth leaders of the lodge.
