My
name is Shawn Opgaard. I live in Faribault MN with my wife and two kids. I work
full time at Ryt-Way as a line lead. My schedule is pretty tight with work,
school, and spending time with my family. Some interests/hobbies I have are
Hockey, Xbox, outdoor activities, and spending time with family. My main goal is
to succeed and continue to progress in different situation that approach me in
life.
I
am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business science. One day I hope to own a
business that will continue to grow and am successful. I am not sure what kind
of business I want to start yet, but I have a few in mind. Continuing my education
is important to me because starting a business can be hard and without proper knowledge
of business, communication, economics, math, writing, marketing, etc. you are only
cheating yourself and hindering your chances of being successful. Plus if it
comes down to it, I can always use my degree to become a supervisor which is
also fine with me. Thanks for reading my introduction/blog.
Hi Shawn! I'm trying to get caught up on my discussions so I am responding to you from the first week of introductions. Another thing we have in common is ADHD! Lol I don't know about you but it seriously can sometimes take me triple the amount of time to get homework done because I can think of 20 other things I need or would rather be doing! Both of my kids also have ADHD so we are a big mess of a family! My husband grew up in Bloomington so I asked him if your name rang a bell but he was shoving little caesars pizza in his mouth and just mubbled not sure. Who knows - it's a small world! Anyways your family is beautiful and it sounds like you have a soild plan figured out for your education so hopefully the rest is smooth sailing! Good luck and I'm sure we will become pretty good sounding boards for eachother when our attention "challenges" get to fustrating! :)

Hi Shawn. It is nice to hear I am not the only one going for business. What kind of businesses did you have in mind? I have always loved fashion so I am exactly hoping to open up some type of retail store first and turn it into a company.
