Investor Meeting - 7/15/2014

Please join us for the  Investor Meeting on Tuesday, July 15 at, 12:00 p.m. at Charboneau's A & C Restaurant in Park Hills.

In July we are welcoming the NFL Linebacker for the Washington Redskins - Will Compton. Will is a North County graduate who will be talking to us about his journey to become a Redskins' Linebacker; life on the "Practice Squad"; and the value and integrity of working hard to achieve your dreams.

Will Compton is a Professional Athlete for the Washington Redskins, a Speaker, and Business Professional.

His current role for the Redskins is a Linebacker and Special Teams member. Compton came into the NFL as an Undrafted Free Agent in April 2013, after a successful career at the University of Nebraska.

Compton's senior season put an exclamation point on an outstanding Husker career. He played in his 50th game as a Husker in the bowl game and made his 37th career start, including all 14 games in 2012. Compton finished his career with 247 tackles to rank 12th on the Nebraska all-time tackles chart. Compton had six games in 2012 with at least 10 tackles, including a season-high 12 tackles in each of the first two games.

Compton was widely respected by his teammates and was one of five players voted as a team captain for the 2012 season. He was also chosen as the Huskers' Defensive MVP in a vote of his teammates.

Outside of football, Compton is very active in the community. He has been a guest speaker at elementary schools in Lincoln, NE, and in his own community motivating and inspiring Athletes in Missouri High Schools.

Compton is looking to get more involved in the business world to utilize his knowledge and skills, while enhancing his work experience.
