About Heath

I have many fond memories of growing up in Lincoln Park, formerly known as the West End. My family moved here in 1984 and I attended Lincoln Elementary. Our family loved living in Duluth. My brother and sister, Noah and Robyn, and I enjoyed taking our dog for walks in the park.

 

I went on to Washington Junior High and then graduated from Denfeld in 1994. After that, I studied advertising and political science at St. Cloud State University.

 

Upon receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications, I moved to Minneapolis where I was hired as a Marketing Assistant at a market research firm. I was soon promoted to Marketing Manager, but after a few years I began to miss my family, friends, and Lake Superior.

 

I then expanded my knowledge of Mass Communications by attending the Graduate School of Communicating Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Superior.

 

I was then hired as the Marketing Manager at the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce. I enjoyed living and working in Bayfield, but again yearned to be closer to my family and friends in Duluth.

 

I was hired by the Lincoln Park Business Group in 2007 and have enjoyed being their Executive Director. Now, I have a direct role in revitalizing the community I love and cherish. 

 

 

 

Our “Save the Harrison” campaign prevented a neighborhood landmark and asset from being demolished. We also formed the LPBG Streetscape Beautification Committee and kicked-off a litter-prevention program last year called the Lincoln Park Clean Sweep.

 

I’m currently working towards a Certificate in Non-Profit Management through UWS and recently obtained a Mini-Masters in Marketing Management from the University of St. Thomas. 

 

I also attended a Neighborworks conference and earned a certificate from their Community Leadership Institute. They’re an organization that helps fund Neighborhood Housing Services of Duluth (NHS Duluth). I proudly serve on NHS Duluth’s Board of Directors as their Treasurer.

 

I’m also civically engaged in my community through memberships with the Harrison Community Club and the All American Club. I try to give as much time as I can to helping out.

 

Being the executive director at the Lincoln Park Business Group has been a great experience. It’s provided me with opportunities to help my community while making a positive impact on the lives of my friends and neighbors. 

 

I also get to take my dog for walks in the park again. Except now it is with my niece and nephews.

 

 

That’s what you’ll get when I’m your city councilor.
