Mayor Jeff Terry
I appreciate the opportunity to represent the citizens of Warrensburg as a member of the City Council. I was born in Warrensburg and am a sixth generation Johnson County resident. My son, Jake, is a student at Warrensburg Middle School. I am co-owner of DQ Grill & Chill in Warrensburg and have 15 years experience in the financial services industry most recently as Senior Vice President and Board Member of the Bank of Holden. I attended the University of Central Missouri and the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Georgetown University.
In addition to my duties as a Council Member I serve as a member of the Warrensburg Planning & Zoning Commission, Johnson County United Way, and Sunnydale Apartments, Inc, a non-profit senior housing complex. I’m also a member of the Greater Warrensburg Area Chamber of Commerce and the Masonic Lodge.
Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or suggestions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Chairman Pro-Tem Dr. Curt Dyer
It’s a real pleasure and an honor to serve Warrensburg as a City Council member. I grew up in many small communities in Missouri including Sweet Springs, Lexington, Windsor, and Harrisonville. I came to Warrensburg in 1985 to join the medical practice of Dr. Al Folkner and Dr. David Glover. I am a Family Physician and part owner of Central Family Medicine. I am board certified in Sports Medicine and I share responsibilities as team physician for UCM Mules and Jennies and Warensburg HS football. I am also involved in the sports medicine for the WHS girls soccer and the Warrensburg Piranhas. I have served on numerous committees at Western Missouri Medical Center and currently serve as Risk Management Coordinator for Central Family Medicine.
I am married to Lisa, for the past 19 years and we have five wonderful children. I enjoy participating in my children’s lives by coaching their sports at the Parks Department and the YES programs. I also lead their Catholic Confirmation classes at Sacred Heart Church. My family and my faith family are my cornerstones. I am looking forward to this new challenge and hope you will share your dreams, comments and concerns regarding our great community, Warrensburg.

Council Member Don Nimmer
I moved to Warrensburg in August, 1979, to begin employment at the University of Central Missouri. I remained employed there for 23 1/2 years, until my retirement on February 1, 2003. I am married to Carole Wallace Nimmer (formerly from Clinton, MO) and am the proud parent of five children: Tim, Angela, Natalie, Michael, and Elizabeth.
The satisfaction a person can derive from living in any community, I believe, is related to the manner in which that person and that community purposefully interact. That is, what does the community have to offer and what are the expectations and contributions of the person. Personally, I have found the balance between my expectations and what Warrensburg has to offer to be sound. Warrensburg has provided me a safe and secure place in which I continue to raise my family. Its strengths range from its diverse, caring, and talented residents, excellent schools, numerous cultural programs and athletic competitions, to name just a few. In return, I have been encouraged and allowed to serve the Warrensburg community -- often in leadership roles; First Presbyterian Church (elder, deacon, committee member), Habitat for Humanity (board member and treasurer), Survival Adult Abuse Center (board member and treasurer), the Food Center (board member and secretary), the Christmas Store (coordinator), Friends of the Library (board member and vice president), PTA (president), Warrensburg Christian Social Concerns, school volunteer, and now on the Warrensburg City Council.
In short, Warrensburg has truly become my home!
I encourage each citizen of Warrensburg to become informed and involved with their municipal government. Please contact me as you encounter community issues and concerns about which you wish to learn more or to see changed. It is only through an open dialogue that we all can become enthusiastic community boosters. |

Council Member Donna DeFrain
I am excited to be able to serve the citizens of Warrensburg. I ran for city council because the city has been a wonderful place for my family and career. I have lived in Warrensburg all of my life and have just recently retired from public school education. My husband, David, is a retired university professor and we have raised our three children in the Warrensburg schools. They have participated in the wonderful activities provided through our great Park and Recreation programs. Two graduated from Central Missouri State University and one from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My parents owned and operated Crandal's Meat Market and Locker for over 20 years on Pine Street. I attended the Warrensburg schools and graduated from Central Missouri State University with three degrees. I taught for the Warrensburg Area Vocational-Technical School (now named Warrensburg Area Career Center) for 18 years teaching high school juniors, seniors and adults in the area of business and office education and technology. I was very fortunate to have an internship program which allowed me the opportunity to work with great business partners. I also coached the WHS dance team for 23 years.
I have served on many executive boards for my professional organizations (Missouri Business Education Association, Missouri ACTE, and North Central Business Education Association) and held officer positions. Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors for Central Missouri Community Credit Union and have been there for 11 years.
The growth occurring in Warrensburg is exciting, and I want people to have PRIDE in our city.
Please feel free to contact me with any community concerns you might have. I am always willing to listen.

Council Member Baird Brock
I’m pleased to be a member of the Warrensburg City Council and hope to serve well. I grew up in Clinton, Mo. My father was an attorney and my mother, a full-time housewife, was active in numerous organizations, PTA, American Legion Auxiliary, and Cemetery Board. She organized and was the first president of a school for handicapped children. My family raised show horses so during high school years, I broke and trained horses. My educational and professional pursuits have been economics and business. I received a B.A. and M.A. from UCM, and a PH.D. from the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas. I’ve taught principles of economics, national income analysis, money and banking, history of economic thought and comparative economic systems. The courses I most enjoyed teaching were statistics, econometrics, and qualitative methods. My research interests include state tax forecasting, quantitative analysis of economic data, and the economic data in managerial decisions. I’ve served as treasurer for the Sheltered Workshop, Warrensburg Day Care, and WILS. I’m currently the Treasurer of the Board of the Trustees for the First United Methodist Church. With my wife, Rose Marie Kinder, I am co-owner and editor of Sweetgum Press, which publishes Missouri writers (four titles to date and one on the way). My experience has been economics and civic service. I am concerned about all facets that will further the well-being of the Warrensburg community.
