Jeanna French earned an MBA in marketing from Loyola University in Chicago. She holds an undergraduate degree in marketing from The College of Business Administration at Arizona State University. Following graduation from Loyola University she returned to her hometown of Sheboygan, Wisconsin to join The J.L. French Corporation, an aluminum die casting company founded by her father. There she created and implemented marketing and human resource initiatives that supported both customers and employees. Following the sale of J.L. French Company, Jeanna relocated to Minneapolis, where she created a concept for a luxury women’s fitness facility and spa. The resulting company, Wellspring, was developed in Minnetonka, Minnesota and was owned and managed by Jeanna until purchased by Lifetime Fitness. Jeanna has also served on the board of directors for several organizations, including Sheboygan Memorial Hospital, University of Michigan’s School of Nursing and The Sheboygan YMCA. She has served as the manager of the French Family Foundation and has devoted hundreds of hours to a variety of philanthropic organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, where she has worked on numerous home-building crews. Jeanna now divides her time between homes in Arizona and Minneapolis. Her passion for new adventures has taken her hiking, biking, freezing and sweating through Antarctica, Vietnam, Peru, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Jordan and Africa, where she achieved a bucket-list goal to reach the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
