age: 24 city of residence: Lake Mills Livelihood: manufacturing engineer at Larson Manufacturing Favorite thing about albert Lea: My favorite things about Albert Lea are the lakes that are in and surround the city.

Being an engineer, I think that the most likely way for me to become famous would be by inventing something that makes people’s lives easier.

The best way to start the day is to wake up next to the one you love.
