Luke Keller
Chief Operating Executive
Start Date: 11/6/2023
Personal Highlights
The biggest reason I am excited to move home is to be with my kids as they grow and flourish. I have a 22 year old son who I finding his path in the world of aeronautics, and a daughter who is a junior at Valley High School. The toughest part of my last job was being away from them and I look forward to seeing them much more frequently. Outside of the kids I like to golf (poorly), cook (probably too much), and spending time with friends and family, especially if near a beach or an Iowa football game.

Personal Highlights
When not at work, I like to relax by being at home with a good book or outside with my husband and two dogs – Cope and Storm. Hiking, fishing and horseback riding are some the activities he and I enjoy together as well as every once in a while, joining our friends for a session of Dungeons and Dragons. I also enjoy trips with my family and friends for quick weekends away to recharge.

Bryan George
Maintenance Executive
Start Date: 5/1/2022
Personal Highlights
When not at work most of my time is allocated to the running of two stores in Dallas Center, one a boutique antique/gift store and the other an art gallery and concert venue. I enjoy cooking and deep-sea fishing (not easy to do in Iowa), but the building of custom (commissioned) furniture takes up the remainder of my free time anyway.
