Darrell Baggenstoss <br /> 1. What led you to want to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission? <br /> The Parks and Recreation Commission has a hand in helping shape what <br /> many find to be a fun, positive feature of the city. I was looking for a new <br /> way to serve the community of Roseville on a city-wide level. I was <br /> involved in our neighborhood, and wanted to branch out. <br /> I like to think big picture and have lots of positive ideas for our city. I also <br /> wanted to bring a new voice to current city planning. In particular, I am <br /> passionate about speaking up for voices that go unheard or are generally <br /> overlooked. <br /> 2. What experiences from your life, your work, or your volunteer roles are most <br /> relevant to the work of this Commission? <br /> I've been the music teacher at Four Seasons A+ Elementary in St. Paul for <br /> just over twenty years. I've worked with many different families who come <br /> to school with varying life experiences. I take pride in helping create a safe <br /> and welcoming environment for students to learn and families to engage. I <br /> hope to bring these same principals to the commission as I think about all <br /> the different residents in Roseville with their varying needs. <br /> 3. What do you want Roseville citizens and fellow Parks and Recreation <br /> Commissioners to know about you? <br /> I live in the McCarrons neighborhood in southeast Roseville. Along with <br /> teaching music, I'm also a composer, guitarist, pianist, vocalist, and <br /> anything else that needs to get done. Music really is my life. <br /> Outside of music, I enjoy water activities, hanging out with birds (wood <br /> ducks, especially), riding my bike, and much more. I love to do music and <br /> all these fun things with my friends and family. <br /> 14 <br />
