Hello Avondale Membership! The Nominating Committee met last night to interview a number of Avondale Members interested in running for the Board of Directors. It was amazing seeing so many interested in giving back to our Club. Sincerely, it was difficult for the Committee to choose just three Members to represent the Avondale Family.

I was born and raised in Colfax, Washington on a wheat farm where my parents still live. I’m married and have 2 adult children. I’ve lived in the Northwest my whole life. Growing up, my family spent many summers vacationing on Hayden Lake at various relatives’ lake cabins. Now my family and I get to live here. And we love it. After completing my undergraduate education at PLU in Tacoma, Washington and then Medical School and General Surgery Residency at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington I began my private practice in General Surgery at The Polyclinic and was clinical faculty for the surgical residency programs at the University of Washington and Swedish Medical Center. We relocated to Pullman, Washington where I worked in 3 hospitals as a General Surgeon specializing in GI surgery, laparoscopic surgery, trauma, cancer, vascular and thoracic surgery holding various hospital administrative and committee positions along the way including Chief of Staff and Medical Director in charge of the build out and equipment procurement for a physician-owned surgery center. Our third (and final) move was to Hayden, Idaho in 2005. Starting from scratch, I spent 9 more years as an on-call private practice General Surgeon at Kootenai Medical Center and Northwest Specialty Hospital. During that time, I slowly built my current practice to incorporate office-based cosmetic medicine and surgery through marketing, management, strategic planning, research and conservative growth. Now, I’m the owner and CEO of Advanced Aesthetics. In addition to seeing patients and performing cosmetic procedures, I spend time lecturing, teaching and training other physicians and nurses advanced cosmetic, surgical and laser techniques. And, sometimes I play golf. Why do I want to be on the BOD? I really like the positive trajectory Avondale is currently experiencing. It speaks to the culture that we have which is represented by not only the welcoming members, but the Golf Professionals, Management and amazing Staff that we currently have. Avondale also has so much potential. As of yesterday, we were at 399 memberships! I would like to see if I can help preserve what we have while making the Benefit of Membership to Avondale even more rewarding. I’m not sure I’m any more qualified for this position than any other member, but I’d like to try to be of service. -KJ [fusion_builder_column align_self=”auto” content_layout=”column” align_content=”flex-start” valign_content=”flex-start” content_wrap=”wrap” spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” type_medium=”” type_small=”” type=”1_3″ order_medium=”0″ order_small=”0″ dimension_spacing_medium=”” dimension_spacing_small=”” dimension_margin_medium=”” dimension_margin_small=”” padding_medium=”” padding_small=”” hover_type=”none” border_sizes=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” box_shadow=”no” box_shadow_blur=”0″ box_shadow_spread=”0″ box_shadow_color=”” box_shadow_style=”” gradient_start_color=”” gradient_end_color=”” gradient_start_position=”0″ gradient_end_position=”100″ gradient_type=”linear” radial_direction=”center center” linear_angle=”180″ background_color=”” background_image=”” background_image_id=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend_mode=”none” render_logics=”” filter_hue=”0″ filter_saturation=”100″ filter_brightness=”100″ filter_contrast=”100″ filter_invert=”0″ filter_sepia=”0″ filter_opacity=”100″ filter_blur=”0″ filter_hue_hover=”0″ filter_saturation_hover=”100″ filter_brightness_hover=”100″ filter_contrast_hover=”100″ filter_invert_hover=”0″ filter_sepia_hover=”0″ filter_opacity_hover=”100″ filter_blur_hover=”0″ animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””] Stew Kuespert [/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column align_self=”auto” content_layout=”column” align_content=”flex-start” valign_content=”flex-start” content_wrap=”wrap” spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” type_medium=”” type_small=”” type=”2_3″ order_medium=”0″ order_small=”0″ dimension_spacing_medium=”” dimension_spacing_small=”” dimension_margin_medium=”” dimension_margin_small=”” padding_medium=”” padding_small=”” hover_type=”none” border_sizes=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” box_shadow=”no” box_shadow_blur=”0″ box_shadow_spread=”0″ box_shadow_color=”” box_shadow_style=”” gradient_start_color=”” gradient_end_color=”” gradient_start_position=”0″ gradient_end_position=”100″ gradient_type=”linear” radial_direction=”center center” linear_angle=”180″ background_color=”” background_image=”” background_image_id=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend_mode=”none” render_logics=”” filter_hue=”0″ filter_saturation=”100″ filter_brightness=”100″ filter_contrast=”100″ filter_invert=”0″ filter_sepia=”0″ filter_opacity=”100″ filter_blur=”0″ filter_hue_hover=”0″ filter_saturation_hover=”100″ filter_brightness_hover=”100″ filter_contrast_hover=”100″ filter_invert_hover=”0″ filter_sepia_hover=”0″ filter_opacity_hover=”100″ filter_blur_hover=”0″ animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””][/fusion_builder_column] Although I grew up in rural southern Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene area has always been near and dear to me. My father grew up in Coeur d’Alene, and my family spent a large amount of time in the Panhandle with family and friends enjoying the area. After graduating from Parma High School, I was lucky to play golf for Lewis Clark State College, before ultimately graduating from the University of Idaho. I have spent the last 20+ years working in insurance as the general manager for Panhandle Insurance/Kuespert Insurance I have served as the Young Agent Chairman of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Idaho, as well as a Regional Director for IIABI, Co-Chair of the annual “Big I” Idaho Golf tournament, Regional Director for American Bass Association, been an Idaho Hunter/Bowhunter Education instructor for 22 years, Referee/Umpire for youth soccer and baseball, and currently serve as President of the Board of Directors for Avondale Golf Course. I have a strong dedication to sharing my love of the outdoors kids, to help get them outside and grow their interests in the outdoors. As much of my free time as possible is spent enjoying our amazing area and all that it has to offer with my lovely wife Amanda and our “four” kids Andrew (13), Abby (8), Angus (black lab), and Pearl (incorrigible Mini Labradoodle). We play golf, hunt, fish, and ski as much as time allows. [fusion_builder_column align_self=”auto” content_layout=”column” align_content=”flex-start” valign_content=”flex-start” content_wrap=”wrap”
