About this episode
In this episode of Up Close, host Casandra Eames sits down with Dylan Kline, a builder in more ways than one. After arriving in Ames for a construction job, Dylan found himself laying deeper foundations as a leader, a volunteer, and a father.
Dylan shares how his role with the Ames Alliance allows him to help shape the city’s future, while his evenings are filled with family life, youth sports, and the everyday rhythm of home. He and Casandra talk about what makes Ames feel alive, from community partnerships to promising developments on the horizon.
With a foot in both the practical and the visionary, Dylan offers a grounded yet hopeful view of what it means to belong to a growing, dynamic city.
