Founded in 1966, Van's Lakeview is the longest owned family business on Lake McConaughy
Before ever being put on the payroll of the family business, Albert spent many years trapping gophers in people's yards and cleaning fish for 25 cents each at Van's in order to make a little extra spending money.
Once officially an employee, Albert spent many years as a "tractor" boy driving the old Case tractors that were originally used to launch boats. Upon returning to Van's to take over the family business with his sister, Albert was the driving force behind researching, designing and modifying the tugs that we now use for launching boats.
Albert graduated from the University of Nebraska-Kearney with a business degree with an emphasis in Resort Management and Development. Albert and his wife, Collette, and their three children reside at Van's year round. We would provide what he does when he isn't at Van's, but honestly, he never leaves.
