Rich Wipperfurth

Name: Rich Wipperfurth
Birth Name:
Wipperfurth

After MHS I: Created network of drinking age socialites who would help me enter bars while underage.  Next came a four-year social engagement in St. Peter, MN, complete with all the trappings you would expect. Ended up with a degree in Biology, and later an M.A. in Psychology.  Parlayed this into a career in healthcare, where I confound friends and relatives by trying to describe what I do for a living.

While at MHS, I would have loved to have had a date with (or been noticed by): Sue, Deborah, Ann.

Most Embarrassing High School memory is: Having to lobby (hard) to not win 'Most Confused' in mock elections.

Most exciting thing I’ve done since I left MHS: Traveled.  Heard great music with my wife.  Watched my kids doing the things that I did so long ago (play sports, tell stories, ask embarrassing questions, etc.).  Helped to bring a company public (experienced the San Francisco dot.com boom). Became a paper millionaire.  Became a paper pauper.  Doing the same again (with more success hopefully).

Farthest away from MHS: Paros, Greece

Most bizarre place I’ve run into an old classmate: D.C. Airport

Best friend while at MHS: Several great people who befriended a goofy kid with a bad wardrobe:  Mike Shreve, Tom Ostrom, Mark Heller, Bob Rieff, Bernie Gaytko, the list goes on...

The most meaningful moment I have had since MHS: Wedding Day.  The first day home with each of our kids.

I now reside in: Edina, MN

Here’s what I do on a daily basis: Get coffee. Manage kids, Manage work.  Get managed by my wife. Enjoy every day - I picked my Manager well.

I have kids?: 3 Girls - Spenser (10), Sydney (8), Samantha (2)

I am married?: Yes

Spouse/Partner: Terri (Holtan) Wipperfurth

I’ve learned since high school: Beer before liquor, never been... wait, how does that go again?

What I would like to go down in history for: I want people to say, "Hey, isn't that (Insert one of my kids names here)'s Dad?"
