Norman Asbjornson: Investing in the Future of Winifred
Winifred has benefited greatly from the generosity of one of its own. Norman Asbjornson grew up in Winifred before departing to join the army and serve in Korea. He then attended Montana State University in Bozeman before ultimately leaving Montana to pursue his professional aspirations.
Asbjornson founded the vastly successful NASDAQ listed corporation (AAON) and still serves as CEO. Several years ago, he returned to Winifred with the goal of giving back to the community that raised him.
Norman has been the driving force behind the ideas and the financing for many of Winifred's recent improvements. From these contributions, Winifred's infrastructure is stronger, more attractive, and better structured to make the community of Winifred more successful now and in the future.
Norman's giving and advocacy for Winifred is an inspiration for others to do what they and successful town it has been and that we all want to see it continue to be for generations to come.
