Garret Mausolf, Bad Axe

Garret is a CPA and tax partner at the accounting firm Hyzer, Hill, Kuzak & Co., P.C. located in Bad Axe.

I reside in the Verona area with my wife Erica and our three sons (Emsley, Griffin, and Ellison) and one daughter (Grayley).  My wife and I are both originally from the area and decided to move back to Huron County when she was pregnant with our second child in order to spend more time with our families and to raise our kids in the same community we grew up in.  When not busy at work, I enjoy spending time coaching youth baseball and soccer and volunteer as a board member with Bad Axe Soccer Association.   I’m excited to volunteer my time and energy to help further all the great work being done through HCCF.

Briynne McCrea, Bad Axe

Briynne is the Director of the Bad Axe Area District Library. 

My husband James and I were both raised in the Bad Axe area, and we moved back to Verona Township after college to start our careers and family in 2011.  Our families both have deep roots in Huron County, and I want it to thrive so that future generations can see themselves working and raising families here as well.  Most of my time is spent being mom to my two kids and managing the library in Bad Axe, but in my free time I love to garden, read, and play the piano.  Over the last few years, it has been my pleasure to become involved with a variety of local community groups.  I am excited to join the work of all the energetic and capable people who make up the Community Foundation.

We have two fun loving kids, Macy & Hudson and are so lucky to be surrounded by close family and friends in Huron County. I look forward to helping serve with the rest of the Huron County Community Foundation members. Along with that I am excited to help show the community exactly why Huron County is the perfect place to visit, but an even better place to call home.

Kevin Soper, Harbor Beach

Kevin is the Site Leader for Corteva Agriscience in Harbor Beach.

Having grown up in the area and working here as a young adult, my family and I feel a special connection to Huron County.  We had spent several years living and working in other parts of the country and state when the opportunity came to move back to the Thumb.  It is such a blessing to raise my family in an area with such strong values, sense of community, and beautiful outdoors.  I am excited to serve the county through the HCCF board, and look forward to engaging with the wonderful people who also call this home.
