Art Wolfe
Art started his talk with a profound quotation:
"The unexamined life is not worth living and the unlived life is not worth examining.”, an amended Plato quote.
Art Wolfe's family lived in Connecticut. When he was 12, his parents divorced . Art’s church and the people in that community were instrumental in the development of Art’s drive to ‘social responsibility’ and the beginning of his learning how to give back. The church not only provided support and caring, but was instrumental in allowing his family to stay together.
Art received a number of grants and scholarships that enabled him to go to Rutgers where he got a degree in forestry
After meeting in Chicagoland, he and Michelle married in 1995. She was working as a HumanResources Manager for the city of Naperviille , Illinois . In 2000, Michelle & Art spent almost a month, two trips, in Russia as they adopted their two sons, Alek & Jasha.
Michelle got a job offer as Deputy City Manager in Aurora in 2008. That's when they moved here
Art has his own business with Edward Jones as a financial advisor. He enjoys working with younger people and helping them map a plan that will enable a successful retirement.
Art, volunteers with a number of agencies and is on several boards, the YMCA and Aurora Community Connection getting the majority of his time. He enjoys tutoring and mentoring youth and dedicates a great deal of time ‘giving back’.
Art closed with a Muhamad Ali Quote, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
