Dean’s Charity Steer Show, set for July 30, brings together community members and young leaders to benefit an important cause—Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Dan Mueller, CPA, VP of Tax, is a member of the charity’s board and part of Team Rocky, alongside 17-year-old Trace Bryan and his steer. Trace’s family owns and operates a farm in a community similar to the one in which Dan grew up in northwest Ohio. He’s an involved member of his community through 4-H and FFA and on his school’s varsity football, baseball and wrestling teams. Dan wanted to be part of a team with a student from a community like the one he grew up in. “Having an overlap of our homes and communities was important to me," he said. "I see a lot of myself when I was a student back then in Trace now.” Being on the charity’s board and part of Team Rocky has been fulfilling for Dan. “It’s AEP’s customers and our communities who benefit from the amazing things that Ronald McDonald House does. They have a huge impact supporting families in times of need, so it’s important to help them continue to do that.” A father of three, supporting Ronald McDonald House is a cause near to Dan’s heart. Nearly three decades ago, his young cousin was severely injured in a car accident that resulted in a months-long hospital stay. “Our whole family benefitted greatly from the Ronald McDonald House Charity in Dayton. Ever since then, we’ve been collecting pop tabs, making donations and volunteering to support the house. When the opportunity to be on the board for the Columbus chapter came up, it felt like a perfect fit.” Join AEP and Dan in supporting Team Rocky as they prepare for the show at the Ohio State Fair: https://lnkd.in/gE6avDzZ

We’re excited to have these future #engineers with us for the next few months as they explore #AEPcareers with us.
