I have been featured in DSM Magazine twice now for my work with Orchestrate and I plan to continue to improve in HOA. I am extremely excited to take what I have learned and see how or if I can apply it in the HOA system. I also am very excited to continue to learn and grow through the Chefs that have been making HOA what it has become.

Korey Rogne
Assistant Director
Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse
Start Date: 8/3/2021
Personal Highlights
I’m a workaholic. I’m used to running the show alone, so this new opportunity will be a bit of an adjustment for me. But I’m a patient man and willing to learn anything I can. I was raised in a military household, so apologies in advance. I’m new to Des Moines, so aside from work, my main focus will be meeting new people and having a support system. I enjoy grabbing a drink and watching literally any sport. I’m shy but also charismatic. Kind of 2 halves of the same coin in a lot of different ways. Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Vikings, and San Antonio Spurs all the way.
