Meet the 2022 20 Under 40 Award winners

Every year when the 20 Under 40 class is honored by the News Tribune, I wonder what it would be like to shadow the honorees and see firsthand how they approach their days.

Just be a fly on the wall and observe how they manage their extremely busy schedules, how they handle adversity and challenges, how they accomplish so much in the same 24-hour days that we all get, how they spend their fleeting free time.

The notes would probably fill a towering set of encyclopedias and not include a single entry on “couch sitting.”

We don’t have the space — and you don’t have the time — for all that. Instead, we present you with bite-sized glimpses into some truly remarkable people doing great things in our community. We hope you enjoy this year’s 20 Under 40 edition and getting to know the 20 folks featured here.

Congrats, 20 Under 40 class honorees! And thanks for all of the positive ways you impact the Northland. We don’t need to shadow you to appreciate all you do.
