It has been way too long since I have blogged, so I have to apologize for being so silent on here!

Recently I spent a weekend at home in Northwest Iowa at my parent’s farm where I grew up. The best part of my weekend? Learning how to drive a tractor!

Last weekend I made a fast trip home to NW Iowa, as I was invited to speak at the Northwestern College Business Alumni Forum with 6 other alums (check out the sweet rating NWC just received from CBS Money Watch!).
