About Sheldon

The Anderson Family
The Anderson FamilyOlga, my wife, is a former history teacher. Olga is presently a homemaker and has kept her hands in education by volunteering at Wyoming Elementary. Olga was also a member of the Wyoming Park Board from 2005-2008. We have four children.  Christopher, age 25, enjoys playing hockey and golf and is currently majoring in business management. Benjamin, age 18, lives to hunt, fish and play hockey. Elizaveta, age 13, loves figure-skating and fishing with dad. Alexander, age 4, keeps both Olga and I entertained and busy! All-in all, my family is no different than countless other families who have chosen to make their home in Chisago County. We all are hard-working, community minded, security conscious citizens intently concerned about the future of our family, the safety and education of our children, and the value of our property.
