Member profile- Brent Peroutka

 
         Rotarian Brent Peroutka recently gave his updated classification talk. I asked him seven follow up questions to help summarize his presentation for those of us who were present and for our club members who missed the meeting. This is a great opportunity for our newer members to get to know Brent who has been a member since Jan.2, 2004.

2.      Hometown/School/College:  I graduated from Faribault High School.  I have a Business Administration/Finance Degree from Augsburg College in Minneapolis.  I have my MBA from the University of St. Thomas.

3.       Previous occupations:  After college I worked for Wells Fargo Financial, then transitioned to a Business Banker with Wells Fargo Bank in Faribault.  I was licensed in 2007 and started working for Wells Fargo Advisors in 2009.  After 10 years with the company, I left Wells Fargo in 2011 to pursue a business opportunity with Jake Cook and we partnered together at Comprehensive Wealth Solutions.

4.       Hobbies:  I think they went away when we had kids!!!  I do enjoy coaching or just being a fan at their activities and events.  We enjoy spending time at Bri’s family cabin on Cedar Lake in the summer months.  I also try to get out hunting a few times each fall with family and friends (not as much as I would like, but I enjoy spending time in the outdoors). I enjoy reading books on leadership, team-work, as well as other topics that can make me a better financial advisor, husband, father, and person.

6.       Interesting fact about you or your life:  Both my dad and I have been inducted into the Faribault Sports Hall of Fame (there are only a few with multiple family members in the hall of fame).

7.       Anything else of interest you can think of:  I have enjoyed my time in the Faribault Rotary Club.  We have a great club, and I have met some outstanding individuals.  We can continue to do great work in Faribault and throughout the world.
