DID YOU KNOW?...
Wendal says "I am from this great state of North Dakota. I have lived here my whole life.
In 2001 I found the love of my life Angie. We got married in June of 2005.
I am a father of two great kids Austin & Megan. I have the best job in the world, working with people with disabilities been doing that since 2003.
Fishing is one of My Fav. Hobbies to do. We dont have a boat but, I seem to find the fish along the shoreline with no problems during the Spring, Summer & Fall months and during the winter you will find me in my Ice House on the Lake.
Building Stuff is one of my other Fav. Hobbies to do". |
