HOME OFFICE  BY MARIE

I started at the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce in October 2000 as a part time administrative assistant (after having the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom for 8 years). I held that position until November 1, 2005, when I became the Executive Director. As of July 1, 2023, I have retired as Executive Director and will continue working part time as an administrative assistant; coming full circle.

My prior work experience was in banking. I started with Heritage Bank in West Bend in 1976. M&I Bank bought Heritage Bank in the mid-1980's and I continued working as a Consumer Loan Officer until 1992.

I am and have been a Germantown resident since 1993 moving from West Bend where I was born and raised.

I have been an advisor since 1998. I have been an independent advisor since 2006. I am very active with Leadership Germantown.

I started working with State Farm in 2015 after I was forced to learn all about insurance the hard way. I knew at that point I wanted to help people understand what these contracts of numbers really do and how important it is to have proper coverage. I had a goal of becoming an agent when I started working in an agents office in Schaumburg IL in 2015. The agent that hired me was a mentor of mine and helped me through each step of the process. He instilled in me that our purpose is to have a comprehensive conversation with our customers and put a plan in place that fully protects them and always puts their needs first. I have taken that to heart and always strive to do what is best for my customers and build a plan for them that completely covers them, their family and their finacial future.

Dave is a lifelong resident of Mequon with a passion for family, friends and classic muscle cars.  Dave is married to Anne and they have twin daughters in college. He and his family enjoy all that the area has to offer. “Ozaukee and Washington Counties are a great place to live. You get the best of small town living while being mere minutes away from a metropolitan city. The people are great too, very friendly and always willing to lend a hand.”

Dave has an MBA in Management, a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, is a Certified Mold Inspector (CMI), Certified Mold Remediation Contractor (CMRC), IICRC Water Restoration Technician (WRT), NADCA Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS), OSHA 30 certified, and Crawl Space Encapsulation Specialist (CES).

I am passionate about helping businesses as a local staffing professional. My experience is well-rounded from supporting small start-up companies that need to hire their first employees, to large enterprise-sized businesses that need resources to keep initiatives moving forward.  I've always had a passion for supporting local companies and candidates where the impact helps our communities thrive one placement at a time. 

Jake was raised in Erin, WI right next to Holy Hill. He married his high school sweetheart, Julie, in 2013. Today they live in Richfield, WI with their son, Sawyer and dog Jack. They enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, golfing, fishing, and anything outdoors.

Professionally Jake and Julie stay incredibly busy but also feel it's extremely important to have plenty of family time and create that optimal work/life balance. Jake’s wife, Julie, manages her own leadership and performance coaching company while also acting as the Director of Marketing for Jake and his financial planning practice.

They both are extremely passionate about creating a legacy and making a positive impact on the world. Entrepreneurism has allowed them to create their ideal balance between family time, helping clients, and volunteering/giving back to the communities. They have extremely high expectations of themselves and continue to support charities they feel passionate about.
