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. Ive 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, Im 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 /> <br />
