We all want the same thing, a safe and vibrant city that is open to its citizens and uses it resources wisely.
Meet Erik
Hi, I am Erik Skogquist and my wife and I grew up in Anoka, invested in Anoka and are here to stay.

Growing Up in Anoka
My wife and I have lived in Anoka our whole lives which has shaped who we are. After I earned Political Science and Urban Studies degrees from the University of Minnesota, I decided Anoka was where I wanted to spend my life and raise a family.
In 2014, my wife and I jumped at the chance to save an historic 1887 home from demolition. We had it moved and have spent the past 10 years restoring it and raising our family there.

Giving Back to Anoka
Amanda and I are active volunteers at Lincoln Elementary, our Anoka Church, Cub Scouts, and lots of civic and kid activities.
