Manufacturing & Entrepreneurship
John’s first start-up was a Milwaukee Wisconsin moving and storage company which he owned
for seven years, then sold to live his dream of working with his father. Next, he acquired Kelly
Pickle Company in Oconto WI, formerly known as Bond Pickle Company, where he was
company President for 12 years before selling to the industry leader. A career in business
coaching and consulting came next, before John joined a regional investment bank which
focused on representing sellers of businesses.
Real Estate Sales & Business Broker
Kiely began her career at Kelly Business Advisors in 2018 as an executive assistant. In 2020, she
earned a Wisconsin Real Estate Salesperson’s license. In 2022, Kiely earned her designation as a

school at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for Business Administration and
Entrepreneurship. Working with her father, Kiely is preserving a family tradition in
