Legacy Interview: Jeff Scherschligt

South Dakota Hall of Fame Legacy Podcast

2017 South Dakota Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Scherschligt is an expert in insurance and risk management. Under his leadership, he and the firm of Howalt+McDowell have achieved a broad range of industry and community recognitions—including the Argus Leader Best in Business Inaugural Award.

In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, our host Miles Beacom sits down with Jeff to discuss:

• the life lessons he learned going from small-town South Dakota to New York City for college;
• his career in the insurance industry, and his passion for public/private partnerships;
• and what he loves about giving back to his community and state.

Jeff is continually inspired to make a difference. He made a big impact on the city of Sioux Falls when he, along with his daughter, conceived and saw through the creation of the first Gold LEED-certified structure in the city.

Developed, designed and constructed by South Dakotans, Cherapa combines creative architecture, modern and historic aspects, an urban prairie and numerous sculptures from the Sioux Falls Sculpture Walk. It shines a light on what South Dakotans can accomplish when working in partnership with each other.
