Meet our Professional of the Week, Chris Hansen, owner of Aptus LLC. Chris says his father was the reason he started his company. "He had a surgery in which his home needed to be smartened for him to remain in it. He was always a healthy individual and always lived without assistance; just like his work ethic — healthy and self-driven. I wanted to create a company that would help that generation live longer successfully in their own homes. With the help of technology, we are able to accomplish that today."

Meet last week's Professional of the Week, Jacob Myrland, president of the Belleville WI Volunteer Fire Department. Jacob says that being a younger member in the fire service, he always had to focus on proving myself each day and with each new task. "I have always given the more experienced members a chance to pass on their knowledge and listen to the stories of the past, hoping one day I will be able to do the same. After more than 18 years in public safety, I now have that opportunity. I enjoy the look on the younger faces when you see the information click and they start to become more comfortable with their responsibilities. The best thing an old firefighter can do is make sure the young firefighters get to become old firefighters."
