**Alumni Spotlight** Hello, my name is Klayton Finley and I am a graduate of BHHS class of 2006. After graduating from BHHS, I furthered my education at DACC for 2 years and went on to finish up 3 years of schooling at Illinois State University, with a double major in accounting and finance, graduating in May 2011. I chose to pursue a career in accounting and sat for and passed the 4 parts of the CPA exam by Spring 2012. I first entered the workforce with Daughetee & Parks Accounting in Danville, then moved on to Farm Business Farm Management in 2013. I worked there until Longview Bank & Trust recruited me to become Vice President/Ag Loan Officer in 2018. I get the pleasure of working with farmers all throughout the area as well as farming around 600 acres on the side. I currently reside just outside of Bismarck with my wife, Chelsee and two daughters, Brooklyn & Blair, who keep me busy coaching youth sports. I am forever grateful for my time spent at BHHS and all the teachers and staff that had an impact on the trajectory of my life. ------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Klayton! If you know of a graduate from BHHS, RAHS, or BHRA you think should be spotlighted, please private message our page or email jhuffman@bismarck.k12.il.us. **You can see all of our alumni spotlights on our webpage under the NEWS section.**
