Each year, the Business Journal selects 40 leaders under the age of 40 who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement while also becoming leaders in their communities. To be selected as a 40 Under 40 honoree requires business success, leadership skills and a high level of community involvement. Those who were picked must go beyond even that high bar, however: They also must be involved in shaping the community in which they live and work, helping it chart a path for the future. Chosen from a near-record number of nominees, we are proud to congratulate Daniel Burkhardt among the 2022 class of 40 Under 40 honorees.
