About Creekside Land Management
Land Clearing, Restoration & Habitat Improvement
in NW Iowa, SE South Dakota & SW Minnesota
I’m the owner and operator of Creekside Land Management, and this business is more than just my livelihood—it’s a passion rooted in a lifetime of working with the land.
I was born and raised on a family hobby farm in northwest Iowa, where we raised sheep and just about every other kind of animal. Growing up as one of nine siblings, my days were spent outdoors—hunting, fishing, exploring creeks, and learning the value of hard work from an early age.
Even now, when I’m not managing land for my clients, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, running, staying active, and spending time with my wife and family.

From Construction to Land Management
Before launching Creekside Land Management, I spent years working in the construction industry, where precision, efficiency, and safety were part of every job. That background translates directly into the work I do today—bringing a disciplined approach to every land clearing, grading, and restoration project.
Clients benefit from my ability to assess a site quickly, develop a clear plan of action, and execute it with attention to detail. I understand how to work with challenging terrain, manage heavy equipment safely, and leave a property in better condition than we found it. My construction experience ensures projects are completed on schedule, with minimal disruption, and with long-lasting results you can depend on.
Whether it’s removing invasive trees from a pasture, grading a driveway for better water flow, or improving wildlife habitat, my goal is to deliver solutions that are practical, effective, and tailored to the needs of your land, leaving a long-lasting legacy for future generations.
