Chief Executive Dad

Often you hear me say, “There are no silver bullets.” I found the closest thing to a silver bullet. Meet my daughter Brooklynne Elle Boettge born Tuesday, March 24th 2009 at 8:18 pm. 7lbs 10oz. This girl has defined my purpose, brought clarity to my life and when people say, “Kids will change your life” I had no idea, I never knew I could feel this passionate, this protective or this proud about anything and I love a lot of things.

Jody is the the other half of this story, my companion and the most significant other anyone can ask for. We already have our challenges and Jody shows strength and compassion that makes me so proud and humble. I love both of my girls with all of my heart, what they have done for me I hope to be able to repay over a lifetime.

This story wouldn’t be complete without sharing the support of our family, business family and friends from around the country. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A special thank you to Jeff Waldman, Judie Czys, Laura Hartman, Kip, Kip Jr. and Guy Lofts and all the others at KW Crossroads that sent well wishes, visited and provided us meals for the days and weeks ahead. Dave and Terry Butz for their support, a life size Giraffe and catering a great “in hospital” party. My Mother, Barbara Boettge, Sister Cindy Carlson, Nephews Zach and Kaden for making the big drive to Madison, WI and helping us catch some zzz’s. Thank you for all the emails, Facebook comments, txt messages and phone calls we received

My beautiful daughter at 4 days old.

This truly is a case of love at first sight. Thanks again for your support!
