Meet our Board:
Michael Greenwald
My name is Michael Greenwald and I am the Practice Manager at Krichel Animal Hospital. My wife and I moved to Keokuk in 2010, and I have served on the Keokuk Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors since 2013. I have grown to love Keokuk as my home, and want to do whatever I can to help make Keokuk a place others will love to call home too.
In enjoy spending my free time with my family and 2 dogs, and relaxing in front of my giant aquarium. I am an avid collector of retro video games from the 80's and 90's, and love to sing in the local community choir. I have been to at least 1 Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field every year I have been alive, and in the fall spend Saturdays at Kinnick Stadium cheering on the Hawkeyes.
