Alumni Spotlights
Liz Henry (BS ’83, MBA ’96) and Joe Henry (BBA ’14)
Mother and son duo Liz and Joe Henry are making a splash in the bourbon industry using a breed of red corn that was developed at UW–Madison and is exclusively grown on their family’s farm. What started as a small bourbon operation is now turning heads and winning awards all across the state—and beyond.
Lindsey Uselding (BBA ’02)
Lindsey Uselding is the vice president and co-owner of Twin Cities-based property restoration and mitigation company Ungerman Inc., but these days, you’re most likely to catch her on HGTV. As co-host of the show Renovation 911, Uselding and her sister take homeowners on a journey of restoration after disaster strikes.
Jack Bradway (MBA ’06)
As an MBA student, Jack Bradway fell in love with event planning while coordinating Madison’s Art Fair on the Square. His approach of embracing the unpredictability of a live event while building structures strong enough to withstand the curveballs has served him well throughout his career—especially in his current role as events manager for the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.
