Logan Rasmusson, a 2004 graduate of Colo-Nesco High School, began employment with the City of Nevada on Oct. 1.
Rasmusson, who lives in the rural Zearing area, followed his father into a career as a butcher, which he’s done since graduating from high school. He is excited about the challenge of learning a new career as a wastewater treatment operator.
“It’s been a good first few days. I’ve learned a lot about the different processes of the (wastewater treatment) plant, and I got to see the new plant (south of Nevada),” he said.
Rasmusson and his wife, Tess, who works for the Colo-Nesco School District in the elementary school in Zearing, are raising four sons: Asher, 7th grade; Sylas, 5th grade; Finley, 3rd grade; and Riggs, kindergarten. When asked what he does in his free time, Rasmusson laughed and said, “What free time?” He spends a lot of time following his boys’ activities, especially sports.
The family also enjoys camping, hunting and fishing.
Rasmusson said the hours and benefits of working for the City of Nevada appealed to him. He has lived in the Nevada area his entire life and feels that Nevada has always been a good community. He likes the annual Lincoln Highway Days celebration, eating at Cubbies On Main and MiCasita, and grocery shopping in Nevada.
