Community First

Bringing People Together

My neighbors know me as someone who enjoys bringing people together, whether that's introducing friends to Robbinsdale, hosting a backyard barbecue, or encouraging others to support our local businesses.

I'm also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a neighbor on a walk or pick up litter while out for a run through town. I believe little things like that help make a community stronger.

Experience

Leading Teams and Solving Problems

Professionally, I've spent more than 10 years at Target leading diverse teams across the United States and collaborating with business partners around the world to solve complex challenges.

In addition to my day job, I'm a part-time entrepreneur and a lifelong learner who enjoys taking on new challenges, whether that's tackling a home renovation project, reading a new book, or learning a new skill.

How co-workers describe Klaus: energetic, focused, genuine, eager, driven, refreshing, friendly, and inspirational

Family Matters

I'm a proud uncle to seven nieces and nephews and counting. Spending time with family keeps me grounded, curious, and optimistic.

Minnesota Spirit

Growing up in West-Central Minnesota taught me the value of looking out for one another. I learned that strong communities begin when people are willing to lend a hand, get involved, and care about the people around them. That spirit guides how I live and hope to serve Robbinsdale.
