#161: Brandon Lohse is the CFO of Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp.

Prior to joining Arkansas Electric he worked more than 26 years in the energy and financial services sectors. Most recently Brandon served as the Director of Investor Relations at One Gas in Tulsa, OK. 

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration with honors from Seattle Pacific University, a Master’s in Business Administration from Washington University’s Olin School of Business and is a Certified Treasury Professional. 

Not only is Brandon’s career path and leadership experience impactful, but also seeing a true miracle take place in his daughters battle with Leukemia. 

On the show he shares his story or growing up, the dream of becoming a CFO, college, getting into business, adversity, his daughters story, restoration, redemption, leadership, and much more. 

A quote I have always liked is from Martin Luther King Jr, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” I am thankful to call Brandon a friend and got to see him as he navigated through this really challenging time for him and his family. I couldn’t think of a more faithful person to speak on restoration and redemption, as well as fining purpose in pain. 

Enjoy the show!
