Wade Allen Reeves

Wade Allen Reeves, the son of Glen “Butch” Reeves and Maxine Hudson Reeves, was born on February 28, 1963, at the Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.  In 1963, the family moved to Graettinger, Iowa, where Wade attended school until the 6th grade.  They relocated to Emmetsburg, where Wade graduated from high school in 1981.    Wade then attended Spencer School of Business and graduated with his CPA.
