He worked as a telemarketer for a little while before working as a library tech in Alden. Dakota would go to the local elementary school and read to the kids. He was such a giving person and volunteered his time at the Alden food pantry. Dakota loved playing games online and developed many lasting friendships through doing this. He even traveled to Seattle, Washington last May to meet one of his groups in person. The highlights of his trip were how great the food was, time with his friends, seeing Mt.
