Jay, who has lived in the Waukesha area for nearly 20 years, is an active volunteer who serves on numerous local boards and committees. He’s married to Colleen with three kids having gone through the Waukesha schools. He is the VP of a local distribution company and currently serves on several area Boards.
Waukesha is an area of economic and social diversity. While the seventh largest city in Wisconsin, it often has the look and feel of a much smaller town. Home to large corporate entities, it also harbors hundreds of individually-owned businesses where people know and greet you by name. Progressive yet conservative; tight-fisted with money while generous to charities; historically Republican with a newly elected Democratic Mayor; Waukesha is a study in contrasts that neatly blends together.
My experiences as a parent, businessman, neighbor, volunteer, and consumer will be reflected in the Wake Up! Waukesha Blog. Let the purely political blogs serve their purpose for endless debate and rhetoric elsewhere. There are many other stories, personalities, events, activities, sights and doings in Waukesha which merit a public forum with commentary.
This blog will be your wake-up (get it?... Wake Up! Waukesha?) and awareness call to these “goings-on”.
Jay
