Getting the opportunity to reflect on the last 20 years leading to my current investor role at ManchesterStory was an absolute privilege. Thank you Sarah Diehn and the Des Moines Business Record for taking me on that trip and sharing with our Iowa business community! There's one thing that didn't explicitly get said which is - it's the relationships that I've built along the way that continue to matter the most. I have been fortunate to meet and work with so many incredible people through each experience and I'm looking forward to the next 20 years!
