Escaping into the backwaters and bluffs every chance I got. I also have several professors that have proved to be valuable resources and friends that have helped me with school as well as business. I was able to take questions about composites, marketing, business, or general research questions to professors in these respective areas and have one on one help.<\/p>\n

Network and use your resources. Don’t try to do everything yourself. Also that having a passion for the bigger picture goal makes the smaller tasks associated with the goal less of something to be endured and more something to be embraced.<\/p>\n

Challenges on my way to a degree primarily had to do with time management and priority setting. Being in the ROTC program I have PT three days a week early in the morning and a minimum of two classes in La Crosse every week. Plus a minimum of 12 credits at Winona State and my job. I started at Merrimack Canoe Company after my sophomore year. I was hired part time to cut fabrics and help around the shop. The spring term of my junior year, I took an internship with Merrimack and got more involved in the administrative and strategic aspects of the company. My senior year I was offered a full-time position. I proposed then that I would like to run the company, and the shareholders agreed. My role as CEO with a vesting ownership plan in the company was solidified on Jan. 1, 2019. I also received an invitation midway through my junior year from an athlete in Rochester who is a competitor on the American Ninja Warrior stage to train with him once a week. My biggest challenges have definitely been making time to pursue all of my goals without sacrificing other important aspects of life.<\/p>\n
