We would like to welcome Troy Danielson to State Aid - District 6 as District State Aid Assistant (DSAA). Troy will not be replacing Jim Fenske, rather District 6 will now have two DSAAs.
Troy grew up on a farm in southeast Minnesota. After high school, he worked five years for a construction contractor prior to getting his civil engineering tech degree. During school, Troy worked in material testing and construction inspection for the City of Rochester before getting hired by traffic office at MnDOT. Following his time in the traffic office, Troy moved to the District 6 design group where he has over 20+ years. While in design, Troy worked on many different preliminary layouts and final design projects. In his spare time, Troy enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities.
As noted in our August 2024 E-Scene, D3 and D6 added these additional DSAA position to address strategic staffing needs in state aid to better facilitate timely responses to local agencies in these districts. These additional DSAA’s will also be used to support other districts as needs arise.
