Financial Advisor with Raymond James
 
Became a ember of the Stillwater Rotary Club in January 2002 (member for 22 years).
 
I was introduced to Rotary by Tracey Galowitz who I had been networking with when I first moved to Stillwater in March 2001. Ever since, I have loved what Rotary stands for and have been drawn further into service through International Projects and Service.  There’s no question Rotary has been my “Third Place” ever since. 
 
In September 2019, I married Michelle Xiong and between the two of us we have 6 children (Christopher, Chris, Andrew, Anthony, Caroline and Jon).  Four of the six have served in branches of the United States Armed Forces including the Marine Corps, US Air Force and Navy.   Christopher is still in service within the Air Force and is stationed at Yokota Air Force Base near Tokyo Japan.  Michelle and I met while working for the same boss at Merrill Lynch and she works in the Office of the CIO at the Minnesota and St Paul Foundations in St. Paul.
 
I served as President of Stillwater Rotary in the 2010-2011 Rotary year and ever since have been active at the District level as an Assistant Governor, Assistant Governor Team Lead and then back to Assistant Governor.  During these years I have met and maintain many Rotary relationships outside of the Stillwater Club and feel welcome across the District.  I am looking forward to being more active at the Club level in the coming years and attending the Rotary International Convention in Taiwan in June 2026.
Thank you to the Rotarians who participated in our Fall service opportunities.
 
The highway cleanup was a success and we’d like to thank you for cleaning up the ditches!
 
Our club participated in Community Thread’s Rake A Difference Day again this year. Thank you to the volunteers (and their leaf blowers!) for a quick and efficient clean up!
 
Congratulations to Katie Bang! She is the 17th recipient of the Hank Sampson Memorial Award which our club awards to a member in good standing that plays significant roles in the club and demonstrates Service Above Self.
 
Katie has been a Stillwater Rotarian since 2016. She was a longtime board member and past president. She was instrumental with other Rotarians to help bring our friends from Ukraine on their new adventure.
 
Thank you for your devotion and contribution to the Stillwater Rotary Club!
 
Thank you for joining us at the 2024 Presidents' Picnic where we celebrated the closing of the Rotary year and start of the next one. Thank you to Tom Hollatz for a great Rotary year - and we look forward to Schuyler Olson's leadership in the coming year!
 
We are pleased to announce and congratulate the recipients of the 2024 Stillwater Rotary Club Scholarship! Each of these students models "Service Above Self". The future is bright!
