Every day, he enjoys his work and the Vermillion community itself just a bit more. “One of the things that I saw was just the potential that Vermillion had,” Welch said, talking about his decision to seek the position when it became open earlier this year. “I see a great responsibility in this kind of a position, and that was one of the things that really attracted me to it – that challenge, and such a great opportunity. “I admit that every single time that I would talk with the selection committee, the board, people from the community, and when I see a lot of the great things that are going on in the community – it fueled my interest in the position and in the community,” he said. Welch was born and raised in Sioux Falls. “I’m a very proud South Dakotan, and as a Sioux Falls native, you definitely keep an eye on all of the communities around the area,” he said. “My sister attended college here … so Vermillion has always been on my radar. You like seeing it succeed, and a lot of the steps that have been going on during the last couple years are very exciting.” That, in turn, has fueled his enthusiasm as he looks ahead to the responsibilities, challenges, and goals of his role in the community. “I think that Vermillion is in such a great position. There are a lot of really good things happening, and there are some challenges, but they are identified challenges,” Welch said. “That gives us a road map and a list of goals and things to go after. “I’m hoping and planning on continuing to add to the success of recent economic development projects, helping the Eagle Creek project continue and helping those jobs continue to grow and bring more opportunity to the area,” he said. “Also, I plan to be helping to get Bliss Pointe with more than 70 homes up – to have those lots sold, get homes built out there, and help us to improve the housing market and the affordable housing that we have in and around the community.” Welch was previously employed in Sioux Falls where he currently serves as the vice president of operations for Sioux Falls Sports, LLC. Previous to that, he worked in the areas of fund development for Dakota State University and the University of Sioux Falls. Welch helped create and later served as the president of the Sioux Falls Chamber Young Professionals Network. Welch succeeds Steve Howe, who has served as the VCDC executive director for the past six years. Welch and Howe Other Services MINNESOTA'S BEST FISHING located on Lake Osakis.

(Photo by David Lias) volunteering, whether it’s simply just getting your kids involved in school or other activities – that person-to-person contact, I think will be a great opportunity to share that story.” He feels fortunate that his work background includes a “unique and eclectic” sports background. “I actually started off as the mascot for the minor league team up in Sioux Falls back when they were the Canaries, and then I got a scholarship to be the Nebraska mascot, and then traveled around the country as a couple other additional mascots, and started up my company where I did consulting with that,” Welch said. “Most recently, I was with the (Sioux Falls) Canaries and the Stampede as their vice president of operations and general manager, and I think that really taught me to think creatively, and to be able to understand the business aspect of something that we often just look at as an entertainment factor.” Welch and his wife, Krista, are the parents of two daughters, Mya, who will turn 5 in April, and Isabella, who will turn 2 later this month. “They are such a joy right now; they are so much fun,” he said.

Join the University of South Dakota School of Law in a discussion about the rapidly declining number of attorneys in rural areas across the nation. This decline is not only contributing to lackluster small towns, but it is also seriously restricting access to justice for many U.S. citizens. The South Dakota Law Review will explore the problems facing rural practitioners and legal consultants across the country and examine new solutions for revitalizing rural America.
