Attorney
Waukesha, Wisconsin, 53188
Mr. Stachowiak earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, graduating in 1979 with a degree in Accounting. He passed the CPA examination in 1980 and graduated from Marquette University Law School in 1983, cum laude.
Born in Milwaukee, WI, Mr. Stachowiak moved to Franklin, WI, where he resides with his wife of 40 years. Mr. Stachowiak has two children: a daughter who tracks orthopedic outcomes for a regional health care provider and a son who is a licensed architect. Both reside in the Milwaukee area.
Grade school education is a priority of Mr. Stachowiak's, and he has taken up this cause in his volunteer work. He was one of the three founding members of the St. Gerard Fund, a scholarship fund established in 1997 that has assisted families in paying for Catholic education in an area around his former school. It awards scholarships amounting to approximately $60,000 per year. He continues serving on the board of that organization and reviewing applications every year.
He is the president of the Parkview Parochial League, an association of 27 area Catholic grade schools that offer basketball and volleyball programs. These programs focus on the educational value of these sports rather than winning at all costs. He also serves on the Archdiocese Athletic Advisory Committee. The goal is to teach the importance of teamwork, dedication, personal consequences, and dozens of valuable life lessons.
