Hola chicos! I hope everyone’s October is going well, personally this is one of my favorite months of the year so I love it. The changing leaves, a warm blanket, some hot cider; this is why I love living where I do and I’m so thankful being able to experience this type of weather every […]

Gardening for good
A big trend in business today is the emergence of social entrepreneurship. This stellar idea of creating business to help solve societal or community problems has been popping up nationally, even here in the Stevens Point community. I’m studying it in my Business 390 course and it has been fascinating to learn about different […]
More...The Concert
I just attended a classical concert–no, hang in with me, it was much better than it may sound. Indescribable really, but I’ll do my best. First off, I have to be brutally honest. The only reason I went to the concert was because I happened to run into a guy on my floor who was […]
More...Family Times: Bucks, Brothers and Business
On sunny autumn Saturdays like this one, I can’t help but think longingly of my family back in Abbotsford, Wis. What are they doing right now? The answer to that question is: Lord only knows. As owners of a family milk trucking business, there was never a lack of excitement on days like today. They […]

One of the great things about the London program is the housing; we’re staying in the International Student House (ISH) in Central London, literally bordering Regent’s Park (the equivalent of Central Park in New York).

Hola chicos! Happy autumn everyone! I know I can’t be the only one would loved the cooler stretch of weather that we had here in Stevens Point. Fall is my favorite season and I’m so happy to get back in the full swing of things. As the second week of classes come to an end […]
More...Turning Passions into Business: Part Two
The past two years I had the opportunity to work at First Source Worldwide, LLC, a chemical manufacturer and distributor based out of Wisconsin. The company started 12 years ago out of CEO Dale Clark’s at-home office. As the business grew and opportunities presented themselves, First Source Worldwide quickly grew to a company with facilities […]
More...Runnin’ Low on Motivation
One thing I really struggle with during the summer is finding time and motivation to exercise. I call it my ‘curse of summer,’ my absolute refusal to work out in heat and the ever-so-popular excuse ‘I’m too busy’ line. Whether justifiable or not (probably not), my summers tend to turn in to a lot of […]
More...Return to Stevens Point
Hola Chicos! As one chapter ends another begins. Summer is over but that means that fall is around the corner along with many new adventures. About a week ago I moved back to Stevens Point and I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t been to Stevens Point since December, just before I left for Spain, and […]
