Dean Weitenhagen is a recent resident of Arizona. He is an active member of the Board of Directors of Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran church and is involved in local political advocacy as a Precinct Committeeman. He is married to Patsy Tobis and has two children: Jesse and Silas and one stepson, Zachary. Dean enjoys studying history and keeping up with current events. After completing training to be an air traffic controller he spent twenty-one years in the broadcast television business and then twenty-five years in the commercial real estate business.
His experience through his working life prepared him, he believes, to be able to overcome the adversity he encountered beginning in 2015. And, it left him open minded enough to not focus on his trouble, but on what life is really all about.
