Through consulting, teaching, podcasting, and writing, he is an enthusiastic supporter of Veterans, entrepreneurs, community engagement, individual empowerment, and the environment. He provides Veterans, entrepreneurs, and business leaders with tactical advice to level up. True to his Wisconsin roots, Weins is a Midwest reality-check for anyone facing self-doubt. His speaking engagements use data-driven methodologies and battle-tested experiences to give audiences practical takeaways. Weins’s nearly two decades of military service includes service during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and continuing service as a U.S. Army Reserve Career Counselor. Outside of speaking, his ventures include Green Up Solutions (environmental consulting), Camo Crew Junk Removal (solid-waste removal), and the Trash Talk Business Podcast (entrepreneurial conversations in the home services industry). He has won numerous awards through the years, most recently being named a 2023 Waste360 “40 Under 40” member, which honors the next generation of leaders who are shaping the future of the waste and recycling industry, and a 2022 and 2023 Outstanding Business of the Year—Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business award at the Wisconsin Governor’s Annual Conference on Diverse Business Development, and Titan 100 honoring the top 100 executives in Wisconsin.

The War Memorial Center 9/11 Memorial honors the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a third planned attack on Washington, D.C. The WMC 9/11 Memorial pays special tribute to the 343 firefighters, police officers and other first responders who died during the attacks, and U.S. military members who have been killed in the ensuing wars on terrorism.
In 2011, after a lengthy application process initiated by the War Memorial Center Board of Directors, the War Memorial Center was granted this piece of “9/11 steel” and K2011, then War Memorial Board Member and Vietnam veteran Joe Campbell and retired Milwaukee Fire Battalion Chief Mark Fox drove to New York City to pick up the steel beam. On their way back to Milwaukee, they were met at the Wisconsin border by hundreds of Patriot Guard motorcycle riders, and area firefighters flew flags from their trucks and saluted from overpasses. The piece of steel was installed at the War Memorial Center and dedicated on September 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
“[This memorial] represents what freedom is all about. It is not free,” said Campbell. “We have to defend it. We have to preserve it and obviously, unfortunately, we have to fight for it.”
The below listed events are all commitments at which we will provide volunteers. We need club members to contact Jim/Don with their availability so we can fulfill the commitments.
