Working with a disaster team, Dean served as the Construction Manager and supervised Case Managers that assisted 800 individuals and families through various levels of repair to replacement. Currently Dean works for Lutheran Social Service of MN as the Senior Director of Property and Risk Management where he leads a team that is responsible for lease renewal, remodeling or updating the 200 properties LSS owns and leases.
