I am involved with MRW is to help preserve the greatness we have in the Mississippi River Valley. I grew up in this area. For a while after College I lived in many different places in the Central States region. I could not wait to return. I enjoy all aspects of our area such as hunting, fishing, recreational boating and all water sports. I especially love the seasonal changes on the Mississippi from spring and fall migrations and the color of changes of nature to the warmth and beauty of the summers. Please join us to keep our little piece of the world sacred.

Water has always meant life to all God’s creatures. We are all drawn to it, some more than others. I know when I am on the river, it is a great attitude adjustment for me. A time to reflect on how lucky I am. Whatever we can do to preserve this beautiful resource for future generations and instill the values in our children should be our little part of giving back. Together we really can make a difference.
