MHS senior Stephen Koch, son of Eric and Sherry Koch, is completing an apprenticeship at Church Mutual Insurance Company.
“This program has taught me how to communicate and work in a professional setting, as well as given me insight on how an insurance company involves many employees working towards a common goal,”
Stephen is planning on attending UW-LaCrosse this fall and majoring in statistics.
Stephen’s mentor/supervisor at Church Mutual, Tom Kluxdal, Director of Innovation, says “Stephen has done an excellent job adapting to a fast-paced environment and has been an exceptional addition to our team. If Stephen is any indication of the students you are producing, Merrill and the State of Wisconsin should be very proud. He has been a joy to work with, and we hope he considers Church Mutual Insurance Company upon graduating from college.”
