Ken Schuh
Executive Vice President of Strategic Growth
GET TO KNOW KEN
If you could give yourself a new title, what would it be?
Chief Handyman (I love fixing things – could be a business-related challenge, a physical something that is broken or needs to be built, or a complex thing to understand that needs to be debated)
What is your favorite part of your job?
Being part of the solution and working alongside our awesome employees.
Which is your favorite Dairyland cow?
Clint Milkwood. Growing up, I always wanted to be a cowboy. I’ve always respected the hardworking lifestyle and rigidness of a true cowboy.

When not working, what can we find you doing?
Working on a handyman DIY project (I love working; it’s my release), golfing, hanging with friends and family, or maybe you’ll see me fly by on a curvy country road.
What are you passionate about?
Doing what you enjoy and doing it well. Life is too short to waste and if it’s worth doing, even life, it’s worth doing well. Set your heart and mind to it and be proud of your accomplishment. Also, I’m kind of crazy about the Green Bay Packers and Harley Davidsons.
How do you Live Engaged?
To me, living engaged means recognizing that this thing called life is not all about me. I have been entrusted with resources (time, money, life) that I need to steward well, in increasing measure. Currently, while doing what I feel compelled to do to help those in need, living engaged means being there (wherever/whatever “there” is) for my adult children.
How/where do you volunteer?
I enjoy volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, doing yard work for senior citizens in our community, and serving in my local church.
