When Joe Krupp left the family farm near Elkhart Lake in 1968 and headed to Madison for college, he never figured he’d one day be shaping the city.
Like many students at the University of Wisconsin at the time, Krupp had thoughts of somehow making the world a better place. He graduated in 1973 with a degree in social work.
But Krupp never pursued a career in that field. Instead, he took a summer construction job with friends and has called Madison home ever since.
