What motivated you to support the Nebraska Chapter and the capital campaign? How do you think your campaign contribution will positively affect the future of the chapter? I felt an obligation to give back to the organization that gave me so much. I still have long-standing and deep close friendships with many, many brothers, including some that are still my best friends. It is critical that we update the physical structure to continue to attract the best members, and also continue momentum of excellence and pride. If other alumni asked why you were involved in the campaign, what would you tell them? How would you encourage them to get involved? This is a great chance we have to give back for all we received. It is also an investment in the future. As alumni, it's important that we support the building campaign, and, if able, to consider serving as an advisor in some capacity. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment, personal and/or professional? I have an amazing family with two great kids and I get to work in an industry and for a company that serves agriculture, an incredibly noble cause. Larry is chief operating officer for Phibro Animal Health Corporation. He got started in the animal health industry through a summer internship. When he graduated, he started as a sales representative in the animal health field. He knew several other brothers who also did internships with other suppliers of agricultural products. He and his wife, Nancy, live in Warren, New Jersey, and have a son, Hans, and a daughter, Hunter. In his spare time, Larry enjoys skiing and riding his motorcycle.

How do you think your campaign contribution will positively affect the future of the chapter? For an organization that has done so much for me, I was happy and honored to support the capital campaign. It will help ensure the legacy and future of the chapter, and the young men it will affect for years to come. If other alumni asked why you were involved in the campaign, what would you tell them? How would you encourage them to get involved? The reason I stay involved now is because I feel I owe it to the house. Most of my groomsmen and best friends were guys I met in the house. My four years in FarmHouse were incredibly formative to the person I am now. I would tell alumni to reach out to me with any questions or ideas they had. I would like to be as accessible as possible during this process. I would also say that there are many ways to assist the campaign. The more people we can get involved, the more successful we will be. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment, personal and/or professional? My wife is an incredible person and my best friend. We will be married five years in July. We welcomed our first child (the first grandchild on both sides of the family) in late September. His name is Jack Stanley, and we are thrilled he's here. Finally, I have a great group of FarmHouse men that I am still close with. It's been fun watching their families grow. David is a director of development for the University of Nebraska Foundation, specially supporting the College of Education and Human Sciences. He works to advance the mission of the college and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He and his wife, Molly, live in Omaha with their son, Jack. David and Molly love to travel and are avid sports fans. They love the Huskers, look forward to the College World Series every June, and love the St. Louis Cardinals ("which has made 2015 and 2016 a bit rough with the Royals and Cubs winning the World Series!")

How do you think your campaign contribution will positively affect the future of the chapter? I felt that I had the reserves of time and energy to finally give something back to the fraternity. It seemed like high time to do so. If other alumni asked why you were involved in the campaign, what would you tell them? How would you encourage them to get involved? FarmHouse made it possible for me to be more successful in college than I otherwise would have been. What I learned from the men with whom I was associated about leadership, teamwork, and perseverance has been beneficial to my life and career. Being associated with a large number of men whose intellect, ambitions, and character was so much more than the role models I had in my small rural town was also important. I formed lifelong friendships; our group continues to be close. Terry Cameron '67 organized a gathering of our pledge class this fall, as he has in the past, to watch football, eat, and catch up. It was not a "marker" year (i.e., 10, 20, 25, 50, etc.) but rather a get- together on a Saturday afternoon. Of the 27 living pledge class members, 18 attended. I am very proud of our pledge class support of this drive. We have the highest class dollar amount. As a group, the men have had quite remarkable careers, have contributed a great deal to their professions and communities, and raised remarkable families. The financial support they've given is just another manifestation of their generosity and commitment to excellence and the generation that comes after. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment, personal and/or professional? I have directed and participated in the training of over 1,000 young physicians. It is said that our children are the message we send to the future. In my case, it will be the doctors who we hope will live and transmit our values. Daniel is a professor of medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, and chief of medicine at the St. Louis VA, an academic affiliate. He runs a medical service of about 90 doctors in multiple specialties, which involves their recruitment, development, direction, patient care, education, and research. He and his wife, Christine, live in Festus, Missouri, and have two children, Jamie (an attorney in northern California) and Katie (a medical student at Washington University). In his free time, Daniel loves to travel.
