Life is about learning, exploring and creating. My job with MPR News allows me to indulge my curiosity every day! 

I cover general news in a wide swath of western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota, with a focus on the environment, agriculture, Indian Country and the growing regional drone industry. From Morris to Warroad, I meet interesting people who always teach me something. 

My job is to share what I learn with MPR News consumers, helping them be more informed, and maybe on occasion, entertained as well. 

After more than 30 years on the job, there’s much more to learn and share. What can I learn from you? You can reach me at: 218-422-6770, dgunderson@mpr.org, on Twitter @gundersondan or on Facebook.
