He comes from a political family and sees politics as a way to serve people...all the people. It's sort of the way he ran his successful business. Meet Mike Sherzan who made a run for Congress in the Third Congressional District of Iowa.

True to his word of "helping others" Mike is helping his employees transition into owners through an ESOP. We think you'll enjoy this...
