Farm Boy From Wyoming

Jerry Krause

Jerry Krause’s ‘Farm Boy From Wyoming’ is a story of resilience, discovery, and devotion that begins on a family farm in rural Powell, Wyoming, and extends into the worlds of aviation, technology, and international leadership. Born in 1940, Jerry grew up in the shadow of Yellowstone Park, where farm chores, community bonds, and the hard lessons of loss shaped his early years. Those experiences gave him resourcefulness, determination, and a belief in the value of relationships—qualities that carried him far beyond the fields of his childhood. His journey took him from the classrooms of Montana State to the United States Air Force, where he worked on emerging computer technologies and served at the Pentagon during a time of national challenge. From there, his career thrived at United Airlines, where he managed complex technical projects and eventually led global teams through the Galileo project in Europe. Throughout every season, Jerry’s priorities stayed clear: faith, family, and community. With his wife, Judi, he built a life full of love, service, and adventure, supporting their children, traveling widely, and giving back through local organizations. Even in the face of illness and personal loss, he continued to live with courage and gratitude. ‘Farm Boy From Wyoming’ is both a personal history and a reflection on values that endure across generations.

Bradley Englert

Transcend Networking
Brad Englert has written Spheres of Influence: How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships to help emerging leaders develop and perfect what he calls the “critical hard skill” of building effective and enduring business relationships. 
There are two major parts to the book. The first part of the book focuses on the “internal sphere of influence,” those people with whom readers can have the most direct impact: relationship with the boss, relationships with executive leaders, relationships with direct reports, and relationships with all staff. In the second part, Englert focuses on the “external sphere of influence,” and explores relationships where readers have less direct impact. These include relationships with customers, relationships with peers and influencers, and finally, relationships with strategic vendor partners. The real-world stories in this book are relevant to a diverse range of industries, organizations, and backgrounds. In these pages, emerging and aspiring leaders will learn how to build authentic, mutually beneficial, trusting, and enduring relationships spanning years and even decades.
