FEATURED RESIDENT-APRIL 2009-DAVID WAYNE FORNENGO
Most of us who live out here in the little hamlet of Cloverton are senior citizens. It is refreshing therefore to have some younger people around also. One such person is a friendly, energetic and hardworking young man who lives in a beautiful new home situated back from Rutabaga Road.
David Wayne Fornengo was born on April 24, 1974 to Dave and Brenda Fornengo. He has 2 siblings- Jennifer and Brian. He attended the East Central Schools- kindergarten through high school.
Upon graduation from high school, Dave attended Vermillion College in Ely, Minnesota, and graduated with a degree in Law Enforcement. We all know it is not uncommon for a person to go into an entire different line of work than what one is trained for. Such was the case with Dave as he worked the construction trades for many years, eventually doing on-the-job training as an electrician. He has worked for Drilling Electric since 1998. His reputation as an outstanding electrician is known far and wide.
On his visits to his cousin Julie Forengo’s home in the Pattison Park area of Douglas County, Wisconsin, Dave met a young woman named Mandy Koski and that was it for both of them. They were married at the Darrow Road Church up there on February 3, 2001. During the first years of their marriage, the young couple lived in a trailer on their land while building their home. In the spring of 2002, they moved into the lovely house.
Dave is the dad of 2 young girls-Julia is now 5 years old, while Lydia is 2. Mandy works as a dental hygienist in Pine City.
Favorite leisure time activities for Dave include outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing. He is also becoming more confident on the computer and enjoys that.
Dave has been on our Town Board for 3 years and has been chair for last 2 years. He runs the Board in an open-minded, fair and very capable manner.
It is a pleasure to have Dave and his family as members of our community.
