Family Information
I have been married to my wife, Kristin Glass, for 3 years.
We have two dogs and no children as of yet. My wife works as the Vice President

are out within the community quite frequently. Kristin and I both enjoy golfing
and being with our friends and family.
Employment
Information
I have spent a majority of my career in sales and
management. I obtained my BA in Business from Western Illinois University with
a focus in management and I hope to someday utilize that college degree and run
a business. Currently I am the Director of Client Services and Marketing for
Terrostar Technology Solutions in Bettendorf, IA. I work with our clients
brainstorming and planning out their internet marketing and social media
projects. I enjoy having the ability to get to know new people daily and love
the opportunity to travel from time to time.
My Rotary Story
I first came to visit the Bettendorf Rotary in January of
2011 by invitation of Scott Naumann. In my very first meeting I was very pleased
to see how friendly everyone was to a non-member, and I really enjoyed how they
joked, laughed, and had a good time. When I began to learn more about what
Rotary does I knew at that point this was an organization for me. Scott has
played a big role in my development as a Rotarian and I am happy to have joined
the best Rotary club in the Quad Cities.
My Rotary Involvement
When I first joined Rotary I had very little idea of the
journey I was about to embark on. From the first couple months of my membership
I began volunteering for projects and anything I could get my hands on. Every time
I volunteered for something I had a feeling of accomplishment in knowing I was
doing something good for the community. It was not until I did the Dictionary
project that I truly realized the impact that we as Rotarians have on these children’s
lives. Something as simple as giving a child their very own dictionary puts a
smile on their face like you would not believe. From here I knew I wanted to be
even more involved. I sign up for every volunteer opportunity I can get my
hands on. I have joined the Marketing committee, started the Events committee,
and was a part of the merging of those two committees in the summer of 2012. I
also took on the Run with Carl becoming the Volunteer Chair for the 2012 race
year and coordinating all of the volunteers for the race. This has proven to be
a large and difficult task, but it has been a lot of fun. I am very excited in
the direction our new super committee is taking and I am excited to see what is
to come for the Bettendorf Rotary.
I am proud to be a Rotarian, especially a Bettendorf
Rotarian!
