Council Member Gary Berg

In 1998, I moved to Pierz and felt like it was a great community to raise a family. With two of my children currently attending Pierz school and my oldest graduating last year, I have remained confident in that decision. This was a great hometown choice for my kids. A little bit about me is that I have been with the Department of Corrections for 17 years where I am a Sergeant. Throughout my career, I have been an active member with our Union where I have held various positions and currently am the Treasurer for our Local. As a Pierz City Council Member, I will show my dedication to the city and am looking forward to meeting new people and working with everyone to ensure the future of our wonderful town. Since 1998, I have seen the town grow more and more and I am excited to start helping this be the hometown choice for more people like it was for me.
