Staff Spotlight – Joe Erdman
I feel very blessed to have just finished my sophomore year at Winona State University where I am majoring in Psychology. The two lives I live between home & school are far from the same. After 9 months of studying & socializing, I then made the trip 4 hours south to my hometown of Dousman, WI where work quickly begins to consume my life. If I’m not painting or staining houses I’m running fire calls. I realized this year I needed a break from it all. I’m always open to new things in life & welcoming new experiences, friends, & memories. North Star is my escape.
