Quotes from Peter Johns:

"We want to build a team of consequence....It matters that we win or lose, it matters that you as a fan had a good time - didn't have a good time. We want to know that."

"You're paying to be in our house. We've invited you here with a promise, that you're going to have a good time. You're going to be part of that atmosphere tonight. There's nothing more exciting to me than that live experience."

"Our job is to make it consequential in your life. That you had a good time, that you're kids had a good time, that the group you went with had a good time. When it's all said and done, you walked out of there saying my money was well spent, I was treated like I mattered, I saw my game at my house and we had a good time."

Peter Johns is 43 years old and lives in Somerset Wisconsin. He is married and raising two boys, age 5 and 8 and continuing to remodel an old home that is over 100 years old.
