Dave Schmitz

Schmitz developed the "Alaskan Community Supported Agriscience Project" where the students choose a list of value-added animal and plant products that they will grow or make and market to a group of shareholders. The project provides development opportunities for leadership, personal growth and career success. The students will gain an understanding when they are engaged in the everyday workings of the project. They will learn teamwork and how to rethink and modify a business idea. Schmitz lives in North Pole.
