After growing up on a dairy farm and showing cattle at the county fair, Lori embarked on a career in education, working as a high school teacher before entering the tech industry in 2011. She completed her technical training at South Central Technical College in North Mankato. Lori sought a position at MCT to expand her technical breadth and embrace the challenge of helping businesses with a wide variety of issues. Since the year 2000 Lori has lived in Waseca with her husband Brian, where they raised two sons—they’ve recently added a Blue Heeler/English Shepherd dog to the family. When she isn’t solving tech problems, you’ll find her gardening, riding bicycle, baking or quilting.
