A few people have mentioned that they saw former heavyweight boxing champion and current grill champ George Foreman in and around town this week. I heard specifically he was at the InterContinental Hotel on Thursday night.
Anyway, here's the scoop. Foreman's in Milwaukee for the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative's annual Fatherhood Summit. He's speaking at the event at St. Marcus Lutheran Church on Friday.
Founded in 2005, the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative helps men focus on being better fathers.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
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's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
