My name is Elmer Elton (Bud) Baumgart Jr. from Sioux Center, IA. I moved to this area in the fall of 1974 with my family from Kearney Nebraska with retail management experience, usually with success.

At my age of almost 83, and had a plan in the middle of November 2024, with financial information I found at that time, I wanted to sell my property and pay off my all my debts and have little leftover. With time, find affordable dwelling and officially retire. I also wanted to purchase a prepaid funeral arrangement, should I pass way, and my children would not be financially burdened with the cost.

I have a Federal Firearms License (2019) and business has been really slow, particularly after the flooding in June of 2024, my trade area.  No one has money for firearms and can I fully understand family and food comes first.

I have been a member of the Evangelical Free Church of America for over 30 years. I know numerous Christian members in Northwest Iowa, all faithful believers and always willing to help!
