I’m at the Expo to: We go to educate ourselves about the new products that are out there and the
new services. We have our guys PACP certified. So we go basically for education and do a lot of
purchasing.
My Expo experience: We’ve been going for about four years. We go down early for the classes and
seminars.
Since the last time we met: We’ve done more work for municipalities.
When not working: We farm. We raise corn and soybean on 3,500 acres. That’s pretty much our
other job. And we follow college softball.
Did I tell you about my family? We’ve been married for 26 years. I have a grown son who’s also in
the business. He’s 23, and I have a daughter who’s away at college.
My favorite place to visit in Louisville: We like to go to the Louisville Slugger Museum. Being into
softball it’s right up our alley. I played softball, but not to the level of our daughter, she’s a D-1
pitcher for Western Illinois University.
