The Year Was...

Last Updated 8/17/07

Want to read up on the highlights of my life, year-by-year? Good. Cause I want to write about it.


1990 - The family spent its first full year in the big house across the yard, and I was overachieving in the first grade.

1991 - The Glanzers headed off on a family vacation; I became obsessed with Gumby, US geography, and missed the Twins title run


1994 - The family took a trip to Kansas City, I started my basketball career, and riding the bus to school was a nightmare.

1995 - Andrew Graham's family invited me to Canada with them; Our basketball coach became my mortal enemy; and I started junior high.

1996 - Dusty Hovde and I raised hell after school with my new driver's license; Dad, Regan, Jesse, and I took in my first Twins game.

1997 - The family traveled to Tennessee for a wedding.  I went to Nesodak and said goodbye to my church days.  And my high school days began.

1998 - I was a sophomore in high school when I finally broke through on the basketball court, and took in a summer vacation with the Hanson family.

1999 - My job at Restlawn Memory Gardens in Huron was a ghastly experience; I bought my first car; and recovered from a severely broken leg.

2000 - My jobs at KOKK and the SD State Fair highlighted the summer; I began preparing for graduation and college; and classmates and I filmed a great movie.

2001 - I graduated high school and began college at DSU; I grew distant from best friend Brandon Hanson after an annoying summer job.

2002 - I left DSU for Minnesota to work at Valleyfair in the summer, and while there attended 20 Twins games; Oh yeah, I appeared in the local media time and time again.

2003 - It was sophomore/junior year at DSU, and Fiddler on the Roof was the highlight.  That summer it was back for more VF work.

Coming Soon... 1993, 1997, and 2003
