Managing Partner in Goose River Brewing LLC
WIth years of experience in the private sector and public service, Terry Sando, Hillsboro's current mayor, is working to bring a Brew Pub destination to the region's beer lovers and downtown Hillsboro through the soon-to-be open Goose River Brewing.
During his years of service with the Air National Guard, Sando held multiple positions of local and national importance.
"Goose River Brewing will be a Brew Pub and Brewery that produces our beer for on and off sale," said Sando. "The food we will be sports bar favorites."
I took a couple of months off to decompress and after that I went to work for UND developing their Emergency Management Program.
Sando boasts an accomplished resume that is too long to list in its entirety. He is currently the Director of Business Development for Mobile Recon Systems. In the past, he was the Business Manager for Unmanned Autonomous Systems in North America and a lead for advancing the establishment of Unmanned Autonomous Systems with the Grand Forks EDC.

What was your first job once you finished your service?
What led you to military service? I always wanted to be a pilot and that is why I enlisted, unfortunately, by the time I was eligible, I was too old. Did you take advantage of military benefits when starting your business? Yes, the VBOC has been very helpful and I'm using my GI Bill to get a Brewing Certificate from the University of Vermont.
