What one thing would you change to make Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin better?
“The Milwaukee area is constrained by its proximity to the lake, which I believe hinders new development and enterprise from entering the region. However, when something new does arrive, the community wholeheartedly embraces it, generating excitement and buzz. This type of acceptance is encouraging, and I hope to see more new businesses and industries come to the region.”
What’s the best business advice you’ve received?
“Take advantage of opportunities presented to you, no matter how they come about.”
