When and where did you experience Junior Achievement programs?
Student at Lincoln Northeast, was on the Minnegasco team (1982-1985). After that I've been participating with JA Bowl-A-Thon for the past 14 years.
How did Junior Achievement have a positive impact on your life?
It taught me the basics about running a business, and making & selling a product.
