THOMAS JEFFERSON
Fargo State Farm Insurance Agent Thomas Jefferson is a firm believer
that where he is today is a result of the places he’s lived and
the preparation each of those experiences has given him. He is not only
an agent for insurance, but also considers himself an agent of change.
“Anything that moves this community into the 21st, 22nd, 23rd
century, that’s where I want to be, “Thomas says. “I
want to be one of those players that helps us become a community that
the world looks like as a positive place to be. That’s me.”
KARIN ANDREASEN
When Karin Andreasen picked up a knife and fork at 3 years old and began
bowing in her kitchen, she knew playing the violin was her calling.
She recently returned to Moorhead after spending three years in Graz,
Austria, to earn a bachelor’s degree from the University of Music
and Dramatic Arts. Now in graduate school, this accomplished violinist
shares her philosophy on practice, dedication and passion for the art
form, and how a harmony of the three allows her to relax into the music
she plays.
DR. JULIE BLEHM
Dr. Julie Blehm might not be able to run at super speeds or crush a
tennis ball in her grip, but she is a bionic woman. With tenacity, humor
and compassion, Dr. Julie juggles a professional life in one hand, a
family life in the other and civic duties in-between. All three spheres
are influenced by diabetes, a disease she has lived with for more than
30 years.
PAT TRAYNOR
Pat Traynor believes it’s up to all of us to share
our time, talent and treasure with the world. As president of the Dakota
Medical Foundation and its Impact Foundation he’s doing just that
by helping distribute and generate about $33 million in grants to 300
organizations seeking to improve health or access to healthcare.
