Meet Dillon Sickels, a 21-year-old passionate hunter and fisherman who takes great pride in everything he does. Dillon works as a union plumber and genuinely enjoys his career.
Today, we recognize Dillon for his heroic actions in saving a man who had fallen through the ice. Fortunately, Dillon was nearby and acted swiftly, throwing a rope to the man and pulling him to safety. He then assisted the man to a nearby boat launch and helped warm him up in a vehicle. Dillon’s quick thinking and selflessness made all the difference in this man’s outcome.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dillon for being a true lifesaver and this man’s angel that day.

Nice To Meet You:
I believe in positively impacting my clients and the community I live in, which is why I jumped at the chance to be an ambassador with “The Faces of Lake Country”. It’s a perfect blend of why I enjoy being a Realtor with Shorewest, Realtors, and everything I love about living in Lake Country.
I truly enjoy being a part of this community and helping others along the way. Prior to real estate, I was an Office Supervisor for the City of Waukesha Park & Recreation Department. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with many business owners and serve the general public. It was there that I realized that it really does take a village to make a community great and each and every one of us plays an important role.
