Hello & Welcome
My name is Brian Klem. I'm the Business Teacher at HRVHS for the 24/25 school year. Before teaching I spent 20 years as an entrepreneur and business leader in the health and technology sectors.
HRV Business is about students getting real world business experience in a flexible, modern and fun way. I want every student who has the desire to get a leg up in pursuit of a career in a business field, like marketing, operations, finance, or entrepreneurship.
To accomplish this we have our student run businesses, like Tuffy's Closet, the official HRV online store. And Otto, a platform where students can get skill certifications and then go on to get experiences or do work for leading area employers.
I aim to do a lot of fun stuff- such as field trips to innovative company sites, activities like rafting and go-karts, and small group discussions with area business leaders.
I hope you'll join us!
Things We Do
Field trips. Start and run cool businesses. Guest Speakers.
Field Trips
Our goal is to have 1-2 major field trips this April. The current thought is to do this at an innovative employer and follow it with a fun activity like TopGolf or paddling.
Create & Run Businesses
Have a business idea? We'll help you start it. More interested in learning business through running one of ours? We can do that too.
The more money we make the more fun we can have too.
Guest Speakers
We bring you together with some of the most interesting and amazing business leaders in the Gorge and beyond.
Hear inspirational stories and who knows, maybe even find a mentor.
