Matt has the philosophy that everyone who enters the building immediately becomes family.

My husband Steve and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary in October of 2018 and live on a small acreage near Elgin, Iowa with our three fun-loving sons. Our oldest son, Mason is a Junior as a civil engineering student at the University of Iowa, our middle son, Carson, is Freshman majoring in Mathematics and Statistics at Luther College and our youngest son, Emerson, is a Freshman at North Fayette Valley. Lots of changes to the Ward household these last couple years, but we do enjoy family time together kayaking and fishing in our time away from work and school. Myself, I enjoy reading, archery, movies and, of course, being creative, whether it's interior decorating, drawing, painting, or gardening.

We’d like to hear from you.
