We are excited to welcome Mike Karels of Northstar Bank and Agency to the Chamber Board! Mike's term started January 1st and will run for 3 years!

A little bit about Mike: 
I grew up in Western Minnesota in a small town called Madison and went to college at Southwest State University in Marshall.  I moved to Estherville over thirty-three years ago for a job with Emmet County Implement, during that time I met my wife Deb.  We then moved over to  Sioux County where I managed John Deere dealerships in Sioux and Lyon counties for the same owner group.  We were fortunate to be able to come back to Estherville a few years later when I got hired to manage the John Deere dealership here.  About twelve years ago I had the opportunity to go to work for NorthStar Bank and Agency and I currently manage the insurance agency.   Estherville has been very good to us, we were fortunate to be able to raise our family here. If you spend much time around town you will probably see Deb and I walking around town, hiking Fort Defiance or taking photos at Ingham Lake, all places we enjoy.   I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the chamber board and am looking forward to doing what I can to help get the word out about the great businesses that make up our wonderful community.
