Stefan Joens currently runs a manufacturing company as a second-generation leader after his father. He was approached to join the Kulwicki Driver Development Program after getting to know Ryan Zeck, who was interested in how Stefan ran his business and offered for him to join the KDDP board. Although Stefan was unfamiliar with Alan Kulwicki, his relationship with Ryan and trust in his direction inspired him to aid the program’s development. He got to know Alan through KDDP and found his strong attitude and underdog personality inspiring both personally and professionally. As a member of the board, Stefan offers a business-focused mindset and emphasizes the importance of an outside industry perspective on the program’s development. He focuses on branding, financial knowledge, and core values in order to expand the reach of the program. Stefan personally adopts the “those who care more, win more” philosophy and enjoys supporting and fostering the growth potential of KDDP. In his free time, he runs a woodworking business and enjoys any kind of outdoor activity.
