Thank you to all Veterans. A WWII veteran with doubts about the Internet discovers an unexpected link to a long-ago event. "Broadband Bucko & the B-29" Old story but good example of why I work to improve #broadband in SD.

If you want to work on some really impactful projects, check out this position. What a fun opportunity for the right person.

Dakota State University efforts have enhanced the cyber industry and benefitted our students but today’s announcement for a $90m cyber research initiative takes this to a whole new level. #DSUrising ow.ly/wCcX50HESH7

This is a huge initiative that will have a positive impact in so many (yet to be known) ways. Not just local, statewide, nationwide but worldwide. cc: Bill Schrier

I agree with the conspiracy theory @HCPD_Olson Happy Birthday Casey!

My office this week. What a beautiful building to work out of. And a nice sunny commute yesterday. Carpe diem

GO DAD!!!!! Extremely thankful to be able to livestream my dads testimonies this week thanks to my high-speed internet - something we often take for granted. It’s been a blast to tune in for a quick study break! Mike Waldner #CoolDadPoints #connectsd

Glad to update the interim Appropriations Committee of the legislature last month on the work done to connect everyone in SD to high-speed Internet. Lots of progress to build on as we have more work to do. wnax.com/news/180081-mi…

I talked with a few of our providers and they are holding up well. They may have to increase the bandwidth if we are all online watching football, streaming Die Hard or your favorite Christmas movie.

I’ve run into dogs while cycling outside in the summer. Didn’t expect it in the winter on my trainer inside. This mad dog is the toughest of them all. #Borti sydnie. Lori Waldner Jessica Fjerstad

Over 10yrs ago Bucko and I were here on the Honor Flight. 😊. Was so special to have the honor to accompany him to see his WWII memorial. The world will never have another like him - he was the greatest of the greatest generation. Miss him.

Looking for an update on high-speed internet in South Dakota?!? Listen to the SD State Broadband Program Manager give an update to the Joint Committee on Appropriations Mike Waldner youtube.com/live/0xT2EhUP1…

Can’t agree more.

Thank you for being one of those long time partners with the state of South Dakota helping connect government, schools and every thing in between.

What a great story. I've had the opportunity to work with Fay and have enjoyed his enthusiasm for the industry and passion to connect our citizens in SD. Rodeo - Maybe he can teach me how to rope a calf?

A great informative event. Happy to share to a room full of really smart partners, policy makers, and friends.

Strengthening cybersecurity is vital for protecting citizens' info and our state's infrastructure. The Attorney General's Office and DSU will bolster our community defenses against cyber threats. Excited to see Mike Waldner lead this effort in South Dakota! #CyberSecurity
