When Kevin Hamann married his wife, Sheila, in 1988 he had no idea at the time what he was getting into.
The couple met as students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the early 1980s. Sheila was one of Ron and Donna Wilson’s five daughters and the family lived near Middle Inlet, Wis., a few miles north of Crivitz, in Marinette County. Hamann grew up in Marshfield, earned degrees in public administration and eventually served as Oconto County’s administrator for nearly 25 years before retiring in early 2022.
