THIS/OR/THAT?

TALK / LISTEN

HOME / OFFICE

COFFEE / DRINKS

A nice glass of Italian white wine with family, friends, or colleagues is an ideal way to end the day.

OPTIMIST / PESSIMIST

SPONTANEOUS / PLANNED

While I do favor order, structure, and planning, I’m also a great proponent of living in the
moment and creating experiences.

INTROVERT / EXTROVERT

SHORT TERM / LONG TERM

PHONE CALL / EMAIL

I try to keep my inbox as minimal as possible. If a phone conversation can eliminate an email chain, I’m fully supportive.

RISK TAKER / RISK AVERSE

PLANNING / IMPLEMENTATION

IOWA CUBS / DES MOINES MENACE

As a former Hawkeye baseball player [1987-90], I still enjoy the sport—but soccer is a growing interest for me, and for Des Moines. We’re on track to bring a professional soccer stadium to downtown Des Moines, and I’ve been honored to be a part of that project.

ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS / TRADITIONAL MENTORSHIP

GRADUATE FROM TIPPIE / WATCH SON(S) GRADUATE FROM TIPPIE

Daniel T. Keough Jr. (BBA21), Jack M. Keough (BBA23), and soon Michael J. Keough (BBA24)!

ANTHONY NELSON / CAITLIN CLARK

Caitlin and her family have been friends since she was young. My son, Michael, played on the same 2nd grade team with her (yes, she played in the boy’s league!) and I was proud to help coach the team—but am in no way taking any credit for her success! As a cancer survivor, it was an honor when she asked to play with my name on her jersey as part of the team’s support of cancer awareness and survivorship. Needless to say, we’re raving fans of Caitlin (on and off the court) and of her continued success!
