Gregory Strasser
PRESIDENT
Greg is a founding board member of the FBHPS. He grew up in Marathon County and graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 1985 (B.A. – History, with distinction). He obtained his law degree from Hamline University School of Law in 1988 and practiced as a civil trial attorney in Wausau until August of 2016, when he became a State of Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge in Marathon County (Branch IV). His love of history drew him to the Fromm property in Hamburg and the legacy created there. His love of the community compelled him to help preserve that legacy.

Her grandfather brought pelts to the buyers at their tables for inspection. Amy’s grandmother assisted buyers in the clubhouse, at one point. The family connections and the scholarship award fueled Amy’s decision to join the FBHPS board.

Erna married Nieman’s great grandfather, Edwin Sr., and with this marriage came 12 pair of silver fox. This marriage marked the beginning of the fox era in the Mequon/Thiensville/Cedarburg area. Today, Nieman and his brother Dan are proud to represent the 5th generation of the Fromm family business: Fromm Family Pet Food.

John Sturm
DIRECTOR
John Sturm is a former corporate vice president and secretary of Fromm Brothers. Sturm is, perhaps, the only person in this position who was not a family member. Sturm has deep ties to Fromm Brothers. In the last ten years of the corporation’s operations, Sturm was initially hired to do computer programming for fox genetics and bloodlines research, this eventually expanded to many other areas of operation. Sturm’s job duties were diverse; he handled many of the day-to-day functions in the office including accounting, ginseng shipments, interviewing and hiring new employees, and ordering supplies. Sturm hopes to pass his knowledge of operations and history on to be documented for future generations.
