Trey Uhlry
Johnson County CEO
Class of 2027
My name is Trey Uhlry, and I am a student who is passionate about leadership, business, and being involved in my community. Through my school’s CEO program, I have had the opportunity to develop real world business skills, work with other students, attend business meetings, and learn from professionals in our community. Being part of CEO has pushed me to become a stronger communicator, a better leader, and someone who is willing to take on challenges and turn ideas into opportunities. Outside of the CEO program, I stay involved in my school and community through clubs such as Beta and by participating in multiple sports, including basketball and track and field. I believe the skills I develop through athletics, academics, and CEO all work together to help me become a well rounded student and future business leader. My goal is to continue building my skills, creating opportunities, and using my strengths to make a positive impact on my school, community, and the people around me.This is all inspired to me by Russ Krueter who plays a huge role in the reason why I am doing this program.
Cadence Hennesy
Johnson County CEO
Class of 2026
Hello, my name is Cadence Hennesy. I’m a senior at Vienna High School. My Favorite activities are reading, making art, and advocating for the environment. I participate in Beta Club, Speech, 4H, and I plan to join the garden club this year. I’ve also completed macroeconomics and business computer systems. My top skills and strengths include being punctual, as time is crucial; I’m a creative problem solver, and I'm very determined. My short-term goals are to become more open to conversation and overall be less shy to ask questions. Long term, after high school, I want to continue my studies at a university to graduate with a bachelor's in business administration and management, and to later own a successful business. My interest in business is environmentally derived, as I am a vegetarian and I believe in leaving the planet a better place for generations to come. I want to make people more aware of the importance of their actions and the impact they have. My dream is to make a change in the world for the better, even if it’s just one person. There's a quote by Gemma Troy that I live by, “Remember your words can plant gardens or burn the whole forest down”. I believe that one human can make a vital difference in the world. I have little experience with business as I’ve only job-shadowed a screen printing company. I would like to learn to communicate better, learn how businesses are started, and how to figure out the cost of starting my own. I encourage you all to go out with a goal in mind and fix that problem throughout your community.
