joined another firm opening its Residential and Seattle Divisions. In 2006, he had the opportunity to buy into CHC Painting. His proudest moment was being installed as president of Port Orchard Rotary. Brad earned his first dollar bucking haybales at age 12. With his first check, he bought a pig, sold it, bought two more, and continued doing that to make money. Most people would be surprised to learn growing up on a farm/ranch in Idaho, and he’s still a cowboy at heart. Brad’s main community contribution is all he does with Rotary.
Congratulations Ryan
It is our pleasure to serve as the logistical sponsors for this event honoring Kitsap’s brightest young leaders.

Common Threads That Bind Family, community service, learning the value of a dollar and the satisfaction of a job well done. These are among the common threads that run through many of the 40 Under Forty nomination forms. A number of 40 Under Forty honorees cited Rotary, Leadership Kitsap, Relay for Life, helping children, and concerns for the environment as their passions. Rotary for offering the opportunity to not only give back to the community but to help those in need in other places in the world. Relay for Life demonstrated a unique sense of community, camaraderie and the absolute personification of hope, while raising money for cancer research. And there are other passions as well, most of which have been forged by exceptional and personal life experiences. Kenneth Bagwell wants to continue to challenge himself and along the way find success in a good family, good friends, and a reputation for having integrity. Desiree Bessette wrote that her parents had a reputation of integrity that was respected by all who knew them. She says, “Anything I’ve accomplished is by the sheer drive and genuine spirit that they have taught me.” Monica Blackwood believes it is important to share what she knows and has experienced so other may benefit. Officer Andy Brandon is currently placed in the schools and contributes to making it a safer place for his children to grow up and receive a proper education. Andy also ran the 2010 Chief for a Day program — locating terminally ill or severely disabled children and finding ways to brighten their lives. Matthew Coates is a leader in sustainable design in architecture. He was the first architect to achieve LEED Platinum status on a residential project in Washington, outside the city of Seattle. He volunteers on Bainbridge Public Art Committee and is a board member of the Bainbridge Island Land Trust, believing it’s important to preserve and create a natural and artistic environment. Maria Finch, in addition to raising her own young family, has helped establish the over 4.5 million dollar childcare center on Naval Base Kitsap, to help the work-life balance of civilians at PSNS and IMF. Lisa Foster was the first in her family to graduate from college. Her talented and hardworking mother taught Lisa the importance of hard work and she always pushed Lisa to do her best. Graduating from college and law school was not only one of Lisa’s proudest moments, but her mother’s as well. Ryan George was also the first in his family to graduate from college. He likes to help out the local Boy Scouts and hopes to provide more job opportunities for tribal and community members. Paula Graf volunteers at Washington CASH — helping coach and mentor future business owners and East Bremerton Rotary. Karina Gordievich believes that mentoring her piano students, showing them that even during difficult times, with the support of a caring teacher, they can feel proud of the progress they make with determination. Chelsea Grace helped to start the Green Team — with a mission to reduce the impact that PSNS and IMF have on the environment. She also volunteers as a Girl Scout leader, helping young women build courage, confidence and character. Nam-Phuong Hong contributes to various Vietnamese
organizations that set up water supplies, provide medical care and feed remote villages in Vietnam. April Leigh is passionate about supporting causes that contribute to the battle against cancer: North Kitsap Relay for Life and the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk. Marleen Madding, in addition to sponsoring fundraising programs for many youth groups, is passionate about the Kitsap Humane Society. She and her daughter volunteer, working with pets that no longer have a home, providing time out of the kennels. Jeffrey Mead believes it is the duty as citizens of the country to get involved with community service organizations. He especially enjoys giving his time to those whose focus is helping children succeed, like Kiwanis and Optimists. Teamwork — timeline was tight and the work on the USS George Washington fire repair was stressful, but Jenna McGrath saw firsthand what a great team can accomplish in a short time. West Sound Wildlife Shelter has saved the lives of thousands of injured wild animals. As the executive director, Stacey Price is proud to have grown the organization into a thriving nonprofit, touching the lives of over 20,000 people through educational presentations and counseling. In January 2010, April Mills, an engineer at PSNS, started engine-for-change.com. A web-blog devoted to helping people learn to make true, positive and essential changes to their organizations, community and life. Brad Smith joined Rotary 6 1/2 years ago, because it’s a service-orientated club that does so much good for the world, as well as his local community. In addition to volunteering with United Way, Habitat for Humanity and KCR, Jeremy Southerland films the Puma’s games. He believes the Pumas are a huge asset to the community and enjoys helping them become successful. Andrea Spencer is a 2008 graduate of Leadership Kitsap. She believes LK contributes a significant amount of servant leadership in Kitsap County and makes a huge impact on the lives of many individuals. Rachel Strohmeyer volunteers as Kitsap Humane Society — noting it not only benefits animals but humans, as well. She also volunteers at her son’s elementary school, believing a strong educational foundation is important for future success. Trish Tierney was also the first person in her family to graduate from college. She is involved with the Literacy Council because she believes that everyone has a right to an education, saying, “I cannot imagine having difficulty reading.” Ty Walker contributes regularly to the Boy Scouts of America. He was an Eagle Scout and understands the importance of the BSA program. After struggling with college math, Jeff Weis, faced the issue everyone told him would derail his dream of become an architect, Calculus. He sought help and hit the books as hard as he could. His final grade was an A. This experience taught Jeff the value of perseverance and positive mentorship. These were the type of life lessons and experiences that all of our honorees shared, moments that helped shape them into the successful people they are today. It was that moment when they decided to step out, not knowing where the road would lead or what obstacles they would encounter, that separates them from being a leader or a follower.

assisting permit applicants with submittals, to a leading long-range planning team, and now leading Bremerton’s entire planning department. Andrea is especially proud of working to mentor staff to learn new skills and seeing them grow into successful professionals. She earned her first dollar as a cashier at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Most surprising is that Andrea almost flunked out of her freshman year of college. Her community service includes being a 2008 Graduate of Leadership Kitsap, Bremerton Rotary, and serving in the Bremerton Symphony Board.

How Our Honorees Earned Their First Dollar From odd jobs as children, to first jobs as teenagers, earning their first dollar is one of those lifetime memories that the 2010 class enjoyed sharing. Car washes, lemonade stands and lawn mowing were among the most popular “first dollar” stories. Astrid Aveledo had one of the most unique stories. When she was about 7, she and two other little girls teamed up to buy candy in bulk. In turn they sold candy at a premium to other kids in their apartment complex — and they ate the profit. Chelsea Grace was paid in ice cream for helping her dad haul wood or do yard work. Officer Andy Brandon earned his first dollar painting houses in Issaquah, commuting every day from Port Orchard. Desiree Bessette earned her first dollar performing Mozart, Debussy, and DeVienne songs on the flute. Lisa Foster’s first “official” dollar came from the Yacht Club Broiler in Silverdale, while Ryan George earned his first dollar with a shovel in a ditch. Karina Gordievich earned her first dollar delivering newspapers for The Sun, as did Clayton Lynch. Paula Graf earned her first dollar working at Sluy’s Bakery in Poulsbo. Picking strawberries was Jeffrey Mead’s first earned dollar — and he was paid by the flat! Tom Jacobs’s first dollar came from babysitting neighborhood children, as did Debbie Nazarino. Debbie later became the nation’s youngest Tupperware dealer at age 14. Stacey Price started early: At the age of 5, her mother (who worked at a cosmetic factory) brought home defective jewels (rejected for the cosmetic cases). She began hot gluing pins to the backs of them and sold them for 25¢ during recess to girls in her first grade class. This was followed by lemonade
stands and garage sales. By the age of 10, she had two paper routes. Kol Medina collected aluminum cans from dumpsters, turning them in at a recycling center, then moved on to newspaper delivery — while Angie Powell earned her first dollar detassling corn. Jeremy Southerland’s first job was in a hat shop at Six Flags over Texas; Andrea Spencer worked as a cashier at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Trish Tierney, at age 5, sold her toys at a neighbor’s garage sale. And interestingly Ty Walker sold sticks and rocks to passersby when he was 6 years old. Matthew Zawlocki’s first dollar came from a construction job. Friends of his parents were looking for someone to help clean-up the work site, so Matthew spent his weekends sweeping, picking-up wood scraps, digging and backfilling — keeping out of trouble all summer. Ali Keys earned her first dollar sifting the rocks out of her mother’s garden at 25 cents a bucket. Ken Bagwell started his young career working for a neighboring farmer when he was 10 years old — feeding calves, hauling hay and cleaning stalls. April Mills also earned her first dollar on a farm, helping her uncle with his cows. Brad Smith earned his first dollar at the age of 12 working on a local ranch, bucking haybales. With his first check, he bought a pig, sold the pig, then bought two more — and continued to do this as a way to make money. Jeff Weis also baled hay, working for several neighboring farmers. Our honorees have had an array of unique and entertaining ways that they made their first dollar. In the end, the all learned the value of hard work and have shared that lesson along the way, by their accomplishments.

It would surprise people to know she speaks fluent German. Her community involvement includes the Port Orchard Chamber, and the Literacy Council.

Matthew Zawlocki Structural Engineering Manager NL Olson and Associates, Inc.

worked as an account representative, and later supervisor at UPS, moving to the Seattle area to manage a home health front office. He moved on to designing and implementing computer networks, and in 2003 was hired by Harrison, where he’s held the positions of First Network Engineer, IT Manager, Assistant Director and now Director for Information Technology. Ty earned his first dollar selling sticks and rocks at 6 years old. Most people would be surprised to learn he grew up skiing with Robert Redford at Sundance. An Eagle Scout, his civic involvement includes contributing to the Boy Scouts of America.
spite of struggling with math and being told he should pursue another career, persevering, and recently taking the tests required for his architect’s license. He earned his first dollar the traditional Midwestern way — bailing hay for neighboring farmers in Northern Illinois where he grew up. People would be surprised to learn he has 5 sisters and 2 brothers, including a twin brother and twin sisters. Jeff’s community service includes the University of Minnesota College of Design Mentor Program and Poulsbo/North Kitsap Rotary.
Finland, He created a business, California Contact, for importing textiles and merchandise.

James and his wife are also currently taking classes for Respite Care in Washington State to support local foster children in Kingston and Suquamish.
he worked for large companies and government agencies but felt stifled, especially after finishing his master’s degree where he had become accustomed to thinking with a higher degree of ingenuity. He's most proud he didn’t settle for less then he wanted. His first child was born soon after high school, but he worked and pursued an education to provide for her. Most people would be surprised to learn he built his own custom motorcycle. Community service revolves around his children, and includes coaching tee-ball, soccer, and Lacrosse, volunteering at their schools, and being active in church activities.
