Hey Guys,
Thanks for the kind words.
This has been a great honor and a very big surprise.
Recognition like this is humbling and you get the opportunity to reflect on how lucky you have been to be work with great people, many who have become mentors and for me a great university like Winona State.
This is far more about a great team than one individual, my hope is that I have been and continue to be a great teammate.
PS. Interestingly the influence on a person’s professional life is not limited to your work day. John “Riverfan” Stears has had a big influence and is a walking example on the right way to treat people, courteous, professional and as a true friend! Thanks John, it is truly appreciated!
