Greetings – my name is Steve Fredlund and it is my honor & burden to be leading this effort in our community; the community I have lived in nearly my entire life.
I have nearly 20 years of experience, primarily in finance roles in the financial services industry and currently work at AllianzLife in Golden Valley, Minnesota. I hold a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) with an emphasis in Non-Profit Management; I am a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) and a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries (MAAA). I have done adjunct teaching in finance and investments for two different universities at both the graduate and undergraduate level. I have also served on four different non-profit board of directors.
I only share my history because I believe my education and prior experiences in business, leadership, teaching, non-profit work, and serving on boards of directors has prepared me for such a daunting venture as this. Often the pieces of our lives remain a puzzle for many years; perhaps Our Response is how my pieces are fitting together.
I live in the Cambridge-area with my wife (Tracy, 1991) and three kids. When free time lends itself, I enjoy fishing, walking with my bride, and playing hotbox with my kids. I fully recognize the blessings of being born an American and am committed to translating my personal bounty into an impact from those who are simply victims of geography.
Thanks for checking it out; I hope you become an active participant and join me for some interesting conversation and revolutionary pursuit of justice.
