Don Gorham, of Crow Wing County, has spent the last 19 years working in a music store in Brainerd, giving him deep connections within the music community of north central Minnesota.

Over the past decade, he has been actively involved with Stage North theater in Brainerd as a composer, musician, and sound technician, which has reinforced his appreciation for the vital role Five Wings plays in supporting community theater.

Community involvement has always been a priority for him. Over the years, he has contributed to organizations such as the Crow Wing Food Co-op and Brainerd Riverfront and currently serves on the City of Brainerd Planning Commission.
