CW grew up in St Joseph and spent almost every summer weekend at Big Lake from 1970 until he joined the Army in 1990. After serving the Army for 22 years and retiring, CW returned to St Joseph and has worked for the Barnes family as a heavy equipment operator improving farms for better crop production, drainage and duck lake construction. He continues this work today along with being an agent for Barnes Realty. His many hobbies haven't changed much from his childhood, water skiing, fishing, hunting and ATV/motorcycle riding. CW is also an avid Harley Davidson rider. His background as a recruiter for 9 years in the Army, working on farms and his life long relationship with Jamie and Rick have groomed him to be a knowledgeable and capable agent.
