I had a fantastic time at the Minnesota Business Aviation Association’s 53rd Annual Golf Classic! Despite the heat index soaring over 100 degrees, everyone stayed hydrated and we powered through! ⛳️💧 I'm pictured with my fellow volunteers Darlene Dahlseide from #MnDot and Shelby Georgeson, Scheduler at #XcelEnergy. The second picture features Jim Ham from #BestJets and me after I managed to hit a bowling ball between the target twice (and that mallet was no joke!). 🎯 Proceeds from the event support MBAA’s Member Professional Development Programs and the Gordon Hoff Achievement Award of Excellence—proud to be part of a cause that invests in the nextgen of #aviation professionals. ✈️ I'm also a proud past President of #MBAA and a 29-year volunteer! #MBAAGolfClassic #AviationCommunity #NextGenAviation #AviationExcellence #BizAv
