Dustin is from Dubuque, Iowa, where he has spent most of his life, and he has been a Wisconsin resident for the past 8 years. He is a devoted father of two daughters, ages 17 and 8. In his free time, Dustin enjoys reading books, taking walks, sharing meals with friends and family, and listening to his girls while they tell him about their day.

Dustin's interest in family-directed natural burial led to his current role at the Farley Center/Natural Path Sanctuary.
