Raised on his family’s dairy farm in the rural crossroads of Askeaton in Brown County, Jamie Wall grew up hunting and fishing with family and neighbors. He was valedictorian at Wrightstown High School and was the first in his family to go to college. He graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was the first UW student in a generation to win a Rhodes Scholarship. A Green Bay businessman, Wall helped establish the northeast Wisconsin economic development organization now called the New North, and he brings real-world experience helping Wisconsin businesses solve problems and create jobs.
