Gretchen Chelstrom

I am newly married to my wonderful husband Brian and I have a rescue-pup Gus, a sweet little Dachshund, who I absolutely adore!

Traveling is truly my first love and I try to travel outside of work as much as possible, but when I’m not doing that, I enjoy working with clients as a professional organizer through my company MODE Organizing. I love to organize, declutter and style anything in a home. I also enjoy being an Airbnb owner and hosting many guests in my rental in Willmar.

When I have the time, I also seek out opportunities to use my background of music, whether being a part of a community theatre musical production, singing at church or using musical talents elsewhere. Music is my background and I enjoy fitting it in when I can.

As a newlywed I’m working on adding hobbies of learning to cook more, fixing up our new home, and spending as much time as possible with family and friends.

Holiday: Christmas

Tradition or Memory: Ever since I started playing French Horn in the 5th grade, I would wake everyone up on Christmas morning by playing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” on my French Horn, as loud and obnoxiously as possible of course. After I graduated high school and didn’t own a horn anymore, I would bang it out on the piano. Now that the piano is gone, I still proudly sing it at the top of my longs…always at 7am…and now my nieces and nephews love to join me 😊

I would love to spend a day with either of my music icons, Julie Andrews and Celine Dion. Celine has been my musical icon ever since I was very young when I began singing seriously and Julie Andrews has been the biggest inspiration for my love of musical theatre!

I love anything with Sandra Bullock! Especially The Blind Side and The Proposal.

My number one bucket-list goal was always to visit all 50 states. Thanks to this fantastic job I accomplished that in 2024 while on our tour to Alaska! Now I’m on to the goal of hitting all 7 continents…only 3 to go: Africa, Antarctica and South America!
