A new study by Bizjournals -- the parent company of The Milwaukee Business Journal -- that ranks the brainpower levels of America's 100 largest metropolitan areas finds that Madison leads the pack.
"The study's objective was to identify those metros that have the highest levels of collective brainpower, as indicated by their residents' educational attainment," wrote G. Scott Thomas on bizjournals.com.
Milwaukee ranked 37 in the study, just ahead of St. Louis and Charlotte. Chicago was 29.

He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
