My name is Ketti Green. I grew up in and graduated from Red Wing, MN. After graduation I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do (I wasn’t fond of school which I regret now) so I joined the United States Navy. I started out working on F-14 Tomcats and transferred to Data Processing. I did 5 years of Active Duty and 3 years of Active Reserves. The Navy is where I met my husband Greg and we started our family. We have 3 beautiful daughters, Raeann, Brittany and Grace, along with 3 grandsons. After spending 23 years in property management, I now work for the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office in Jail Administration. I also serve on the Big Lake Planning Commission. Our family has made Big Lake our home for the past 22 years. My passion in life and what makes my soul happy is helping people, whether it’s in a time of need or a fundraiser needs to be planned. Big Lake is a fabulous place to live, work and play.
