The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we're continuing our "Meet the Staff" series and we want to introduce you to John!

John is one our dedicated labor employees here in the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department. He grew up in Sioux City, Iowa. When he started 6 years ago, he split his time between Parks and Public Works but now, works full time with us in Parks, Recreations and Forestry!

We asked John to tell us a little more about himself and here’s what he said:
Q: What’s the most exciting part of your job?
A: Working outside and with coworkers that share the same interest in work results.

Q: What motivates you at work?
A: Watching people enjoy the parks and trails that we take care of

Q: What’s a work related accomplishment that you’re really proud of?
A: Being able to work on and maintain the memorial in honor of our vets!

Q: What is your favorite season and why?
A: Fall because it’s hunting season and fall on the water is beautiful – love boat rides on the river.

Q: What’s your favorite TV show – the one you’re always watching on repeat?
A: Gun Dog TV – Hogan’s Heros
