It seems Jerome Krieger was destined for a career in parks and recreation. Growing up across the street from a recreation center in St. Paul, Minn., “[It] was my home away from home,” he says.
“I remember all of the great professionals that managed the center and thought how great it would be to have that job one day,” Krieger recalls. “My dream came true, and I was honored to be the director of the North Dale Recreation Center in St. Paul, that I grew up at for a 4-year period.”
These days, Krieger is the Program Supervisor for adult and youth athletics for the city of Blaine Parks and Recreation, a position he has held for 6 years. Prior to landing in Blaine, located north of the Twin Cities, he spent 19 years working for the city of St. Paul.
