John Baumann has had many “successes” in his life overcoming challenge after challenge. One such challenge was to obtain sufficient grades as a business management major at a public university to be admitted into the best law school possible. He was successfully admitted into Cornell Law School, an ivy league institution. Another challenge was to be an extraordinary attorney. John started his career at Exxon, took the Assistant General Counsel position for the buyer of the refinery he was working at the time, and finally became the General Counsel & Executive Officer of a market-listed public company. He held that position or 12 years. John now faces the biggest challenge of his life. In 2002, at 41 years old, John Baumann was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. John Baumann has successfully reinvented himself. Upon being diagnosed, John joined the faculty of the College of Business at the University of Louisville and was selected to be the Chair of the Make-A-Wish Kentucky Board
