Renae has a heart and passion for service, and she aspires to have fun and do good while helping others. Originally from Duluth Minnesota, Renae lives in Blaine Minnesota where she has leveraged her education in business management to become an owner and operator of rental real-estate for nearly 15 years. 

At home, Renae typically volunteers with local initiatives spanning a spectrum from helping pack food for children and their families, to helping keep waterways and park areas clean of debris.  Renae also enjoys travelling internationally, and during her travels she strives to give back within communities to which she visits, especially helping children around the world. Whether it is to provide school supplies, food, clothing, medicine, toys, or her time, her desire is to help children find a safe place to learn and grow. Her joy is to see a child’s smiling face.

More than ten years ago, Renae and Dean were introduced to DreamMission Stu, during which they discussed their experiences, and similar desire to help children around the world – not to mention their love of travel. Renae immediately started to work with DreamMissions to help expand into new geographical areas, then over the next few years Renae and Dean volunteered and lead groups during international trips. Starting in 2016 Renae became the President of the DreamMissions Foundation Board of Directors.
