Drew Higginbothom: Giving Back is the Right Thing to Do

John Hill — Thu, 19 May 2022 18:18:53 +0000

Drew Higginbothom, an insurance agent from Forrest City, Arkansas, has always understood the value of education. “My mom was a fifth-grade teacher her whole life,” he said. “She taught to give back to kids. I always admired her.” At 42, Higginbothom is a successful leader in the Arkansas insurance industry. He serves as vice president of . The company has 17 employees and offices in Forrest City, Little Rock, Marianna, and Stuttgart. A 2006 graduate of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock’s Master of Business Administration program, Higginbothom credits his education as an essential component of his success in business. “��Vlog��ý Little Rock’s MBA program truly taught me more than just subject matter,” he said. “It’s very applicable to what I do today since I’m very involved in the running of the business. They are solid individuals who care about their students. They teach material, and you can see it being applied in real life.” Growing up, golf was also a huge part of Higginbothom’s life. He recalls how his parents would often drop him off during summer mornings, and he would practice all day until night. He eventually played on the golf team while he attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance in 2003. Like many young people do, Higginbothom moved away from home after graduating college to explore life during what he describes as his “what-do-you-do phase.” He lived and worked in the golf industry in Tampa Bay, Florida, for two years before deciding to return to Arkansas. “I had to go and get out into the world,” Higginbothom said. “After a year goes by, the lightbulb comes on. I called my dad and said ‘I’m coming home,’ and he said’ I’ve been waiting on you to make that call.’ He suggested that I should go to law school or get a master’s degree. I decided I would apply for a master’s program, and that’s how I wound up at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock.” Higginbothom joined the MBA program at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, a decision that had a great influence on his future career in the insurance industry. He worked full-time while taking classes at night. “I would 100 percent recommend people get an MBA if it fits their current situation in life,” he said. “There is no downside to procuring your MBA in my mind.” Higginbothom recalls learning important skills from business professors Andy Terry and Mark Funk. “With Andy’s courses, you are always left with something you can take away. You realize that you need to log it in your mind because it will be useful in the future,” he said. “Funk has a way of presenting things that are entertaining. Their courses were influential in my life and still are today. That information helped to accelerate my career. I utilize it every year having to run a business. They prepared me well to do that.” Upon graduation from ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, Higginbothom went to work as a commercial broker for Ramsey, Krug, Farrell, and Lensing. “I was introduced to Ramsey Krug during my last semester at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock,” he said. “I always had an inkling I would ultimately go into insurance. Ramsey Krug gave me the best training I could possibly have to be a commercial-focused insurance agent. Ultimately, I made a decision to move closer to home when I had an opportunity to work with Mark Smith to own and operate a business.” A native of Marianna, Arkansas, Higginbothom grew up in a tight-knit family that also influenced his decision to join Smith and Company Insurance in 2011. He and his wife Jessica are the proud parents of three daughters – Fuller, Merritt, and Palmer. “I loved where I grew up. That is why I eventually moved to Forrest City, Arkansas,” he said. “I have three children, and my brother has three children. We have a standing family dinner with my parents every Sunday at 5 p.m.” Having been a partner at Smith and Company Insurance for more than 10 years, Higginbothom is actively involved in the community and serves as a board member for Armor Bank, Forrest City Chamber of Commerce, Independent Insurance Agents of Arkansas, Revitalization of Downtown Forrest City, and Rotary Club. Higginbothom is a firm believer in the benefits of higher education and giving back to students to help them achieve their goal of obtaining a college education. “That’s why I have agreed to point people from my community who are interested in college to ��Vlog��ý Little Rock,” he said. “Because that’s relatable to me, and it has a positive impact on people’s lives. I’m a big believer in showing up and doing the right thing. Giving back to the community and my university is the right thing to do.”

��Vlog��ý Little Rock announces new MBA program concentrations, graduate certificates

Ajani Oyindamola — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 14:00:48 +0000

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock College of Business has added two new concentrations, business analytics and financial accounting data analysis, to its Master of Business Administration Program as well as matching graduate certificates that will begin during the fall 2019 semester. The MBA concentration in financial accounting data analysis addresses an area of documented need for graduates of finance and accounting programs statewide. “Firms need accounting and finance people with analytical skills, and not just in audit and financial statement analysis,” said Dr. Mark Funk, chair of the departments of economics and accounting. “The demand for analytics is growing in tax, consulting, real estate investments, risk management, and other areas within the accounting and finance professions.” The MBA concentration in financial accounting data analysis will help students fill these gaps, while the second new MBA concentration will prepare students for a career in the fast-growing field of business analytics. “The MBA concentration in business analytics can help you differentiate your career readiness by developing technical skills in the use of analytics tools, such as Watson analytics and Tableau, and using evidence-based decision making relevant to all areas of business,” said Dr. Robert Mitchell, chair of the Department of Business Information Systems. The report of the Blue Ribbon Commission on the Economic Competitiveness of Data Analytics and Computing in Arkansas indicates that Arkansas is outpacing U.S. growth in most data analytics and computing-related occupations, Mitchell said. “The business analytics program can help you move into this growing career path,” he said. Additionally, the graduate certificate in financial accounting data analytics is a great option for students with a bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance who are seeking additional coursework to improve their skills in data analytics. The 18-hour graduate certificate will help students satisfy the 150-hour requirement for Certified Public Accounting (CPA) licensure. The graduate certificate program helps professionals develop their financial data analytical skills and achieve their career goals. With convenient night classes taught by outstanding faculty members with real-world experience, the graduate curriculum can be easily customized. While many university data analysis programs remain focused on information technology services, ��Vlog��ý Little Rock’s program for accounting and finance professionals focuses on the analytical skills most needed in the accounting and finance fields. The 15-hour graduate certificate in business analytics is designed to increase the career readiness of information technology and MBA graduates. Students will develop business intelligence skills while familiarizing themselves with information technology infrastructures and systems that provide data and decision support. ��Vlog��ý Little Rock also offers a traditional MBA and the Weekend MBA as well as MBA concentrations in human resources and organizational communication.

��Vlog��ý Little Rock alumni at forefront of Arkansas energy efficiency, solar market

Ajani Oyindamola — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 13:34:45 +0000

Two University of Arkansas at Little Rock alumni are taking the Little Rock energy efficiency and solar industries by storm, providing their customers with solutions that are helping the environment and saving them money at the same time. Heather Nelson and Josh Davenport are co-founders of , an energy efficiency and solar design and installation company based in North Little Rock that was recently named an t for companies with 31 to 55 employees by Arkansas Business Publishing Group. The company began specializing in energy efficiency options for residential homes and businesses, but the solar industry quickly became an integral part of the company within just three years of the business starting. Nelson and Davenport are both alumni of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock’s MBA program, while Davenport also holds bachelor’s degrees in accounting and construction management from ��Vlog��ý Little Rock. Seal Energy Solutions began in an unusual way. The Clinton Foundation contacted Davenport, who was working at his family’s company, Davenport Contracting, Inc., with an opportunity to work as a general contractor for a program called Home Energy Affordability Loan (HEAL). The program was being incubated within the Clinton Climate Initiative at the Clinton Foundation. “I was a general contractor at the time, but I did not have residential experience,” Davenport said. “The program was designed to go into homes and make them more energy efficient. I said I would look into it and got certified.” Davenport began work with Seal Energy Solutions as a “side gig” in which he expected to subcontract much of the work out. However, Davenport quickly found that wasn’t how things would work out. “There wasn’t a large pool of subcontractors, so we started to grow organically by training our own people,” Davenport said. “After a few acquisitions, we were doing most of the work in house. That has grown today to solar renewables. To date, we have completed 150 solar installs in the past two years. Since inception, we have been in over 10,000 homes.” In 2012, Nelson worked in banking and corporate finance for nearly 20 years prior to co-founding Seal Energy Solutions. She found out about Josh’s business idea while having a “fateful lunch” with Davenport’s father, Ken Davenport, who Nelson had met years earlier at a family reunion. Nelson and Davenport are distantly related, a little unknown fact, though neither can tell you exactly how their family trees connect. “I was having lunch with his dad, and then met Josh afterwards at his dad’s office. Josh said, ‘You have got to do this with me.’ The running joke is that I never said yes, but here I am,” Nelson said. “You know how you meet people, and you have an instant connection, that is how it was with Ken and I. It is cool that our families didn’t know each other growing up, but then you end up getting to know a different part of your family tree by happenstance. That is a unique aspect of this firm and the story of how our lives intersected.” Looking back, Nelson isn’t surprised that she made the decision to pursue a new business opportunity. While earning her undergraduate degree at the University of Arkansas, Nelson took some of the first entrepreneurial classes the university offered, which having come from a long line of entrepreneurs, ignited her interest in entrepreneurship. “I knew in college that one day I wanted to run my own business or someone else’s,” Nelson said. “After years in corporate lending, it was a God thing where a great opportunity presented itself to do something entrepreneurial. Honestly, it was scary and awesome at the same time.” Nelson and Davenport had an immense job before them when they partnered to start Seal Energy Solutions. At the end of 2012, they were both still working full time, and jobs started to pour in before they were ready to officially launch the company.

“We didn’t plan to start until Jan. 1, but that didn’t work out. We were already doing work in November,” Nelson said. “The joke is that we both lied to each other. I thought I was just going to help get him started and move on. He thought he was going to stay at his dad’s firm full time and do Seal Energy Solutions on the side. We were both wrong. We were working together in December when I looked at him and said, ‘You are going to have to quit. It’s going to take both of us. We’ve got a runaway train here.’ That’s entrepreneurship 101, don’t lie to your business partner (or yourself) before you even get started.” The key to Seal Energy Solutions success is that we take a holistic approach to energy solutions for a client. The company conducts energy assessments on homes, businesses, and farms and offer recommendations to save the client money off their utility bills. Changes could include switching to LED lights, adding a more energy efficient heating and cooling system, installing solar panels, or a number of other solutions. In 2016, the company expanded into solar agricultural and commercial projects across Arkansas. Seal Energy Solutions recently announced it had entered into a teaming agreement with LightWave Solar of Nashville, Tennessee, currently ranked 42nd nationally in solar design and install firms, which makes Seal Energy Solutions the largest and most experienced solar design and install firm in the state of Arkansas. “I don’t know how you define success, but we are having a lot of growth and are having a lot of fun: we are appreciative of the growth we’ve experienced to this point,” Davenport said. Over the past six years, Seal Energy has grown to a company with 45 employees, all of whom were hired and trained in Arkansas. The company has maintained a growth rate of at least 30 percent every year and has grown into a $6.4 million company as of 2017 year-end. Nelson and Davenport said that their experiences at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock led them to place a high value on education. “We pay 100 percent for our employees’ training and continuing education, and it has been that way since day one,” Nelson said. “We knew education changed the trajectory of our lives. We want to invest in the next generation of talent to come into our industry. Making that investment in our people springs from our education at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock. My former employers always encouraged me to complete my MBA, even when I didn’t want to, and I hope Josh and I have transferred that encouragement towards education to our team. We really feel strongly about education.” Davenport said that he still relies upon many of the relationships he built at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock to help him with his current business. “From my standpoint, I think the relationships that I made at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, from professors to fellow students, are still there and that is almost 10 years later. Today, one of the assets is the relationships I got to build there because these folks are still around here.” Davenport lives in North Little Rock with his wife, Beth Ann, and three children, Eden, Hawk, and Asher. He also serves as president of the Arkansas Association of Energy Engineers, on the board of directors for the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and secretary of the Argenta Downtown Council. Nelson is on The Excel Center at Goodwill School Advisory Council and the Arkansas Advanced Energy Association Distributed Generation Task Force. She also serves on the board of directors for the Arkansas Advanced Energy Association and Restored and Renewed Ministry, a nonprofit organization that provides free counseling, vacations, and other resources for missionaries serving all around the world. She also travels to Haiti regularly with The Global Orphan Project out of Kansas City, Missouri, championing global artisans to reduce the need for orphan ages and economic orphans through job creation and economic development.

��Vlog��ý Little Rock business students win first place in Florida business competition

Ajani Oyindamola — Tue, 01 May 2018 20:52:33 +0000

Three students enrolled in the Master of Business Administration program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock won first place and a $4,000 prize in the held April 13-14 at the University of West Florida. MBA students Richard Nuttall of Little Rock, Lindsay Turnage of Cabot, and Eric Whitmire of Shannon Hills won first place for their presentation to JetPay, a Texas-based NASDAQ listed financial company specializing in debit and credit card processing, human resources, and payroll services. During a case competition, students work to articulate a company’s core competencies while identifying revenue sources to increase shareholder value. They then develop case strategies to present to a panel of judges. At UWF’s competition, teams presented their cases to JetPay for their chance at $10,000 in cash prizes. “Hosting a case competition based on a ‘live case’ situation in a NASDAQ-listed company takes our focus on providing students with high-impact, real world experiential learning to a new level,” said Dr. Tim O’Keefe, dean of the UFW College of Business. “The case competition combines two high-impact practices, real world problem solving, and competition with other schools into one event.” Dr. Naeem Bajwa, ��Vlog��ý Little Rock assistant professor of management, told Nuttall, Turnage, and Whitmire about the competition and served as their faculty coach. The students had six weeks to prepare a presentation to answer the questions, “How do we grow awareness of our company, and how do we increase our contacts?” Their winning presentation focused on three key strategies: improving digital marketing, building a partnership with the local Small Business and Technology Development Center, and marketing the company’s services to medical schools. “I thought our ideas were valid solutions to their problems,” Nuttall said. The team members thanked Bajwa for his help in preparing for the competition and Stephen Harrow Dean of Business Jane Wayland for sponsoring the team’s travel to the University of West Florida. “Dr. Bajwa found this opportunity for us, and Dean Wayland sponsored our team to go. To be given the opportunity to attend this competition and gain real-world experience was a great opportunity for us,” Turnage said.

Former dairy farmer finds new career, earns MBA from ��Vlog��ý Little Rock

Ajani Oyindamola — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:15:45 +0000

Howell Andrew Fielder grew up working on his family’s dairy farm in Guy, Arkansas, where the whole world became a classroom filled with science experiments. “I am the third generation of my family to have a college degree,” Fielder said. “Education has always been something that has been very important in my family. We lived on a farm, so everything was a science experiment. That is how I learned to logically think through things.” Except for the four years he spent at Ouachita Baptist University playing baseball and earning a degree in psychology, Fielder expected to spend his life working in the wide open spaces of the family’s farm. The economic downturn in the last decade destroyed that plan. In 2010, Fielder took over his father’s vacant job as an HVAC mechanic at University of Arkansas at Little Rock. “After the recession, my dad, Larry Fielder, started working at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock,” he said. “Dad got offered a higher paying job elsewhere, so he told me if I wanted to go to school again, I should apply. People call me junior because my dad worked here first.” Fielder began taking classes while working full time. He first earned a graduate certificate in conflict mediation with much appreciated assistance from Dr. Linda Pledger. He will graduate Saturday, Dec. 16, with a Master of Business Administration��𲵰��, something that he largely gives credit to the Facilities Management department. “The Facilities Management Scholarship is what allowed me to earn both my graduate certificate and master’s degree,” he said. “The scholarship started five years ago, and my boss, David Millay, utilizes it to help employees go to school for free. We earn a 90 percent tuition discount from the university, and this scholarship covered the other 10 percent.” Fielder has worked as a building optimization technician with the university energy conservation project for the past three years. “Andrew is a shining example of how hard work and dedication positively impact one’s life,” said Millay, associate vice chancellor of facilities management and planning. “We are justifiably proud of Andrew and the many other facilities management employees who take advantage of our scholarship programs to improve their lives and the lives of those around them.” Among his most memorable experiences at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock is participating in the CFA Institute Research Challenge financial analyst competition earlier this year, when Fielder and three teammates competed against 50 teams in Seattle after winning the Mid-South competition in Memphis, Tennessee. Led by faculty advisor Ashvin Vibhakar, the Joe T. Ford chair of finance in the ��Vlog��ý Little Rock College of Business, the students gained real-world experience as they researched a publicly traded company and presented their stock recommendations — buy, sell, or hold — to judges who play the role of investors. “ The other memorable experience is the energy conservation project that I am a part of,” Fielder said. “The CFA Research Challenge forced me to utilize my MBA education as well as my people and my presentation skills. The energy conservation project allowed me to learn a new skill of helping people learn how to manage energy using computer software. Both of these experiences helped make me a better person.”

��Vlog��ýLR grad students analyze export opportunities for small business owners

Ajani Oyindamola — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 14:45:09 +0000

Two University of Arkansas at Little Rock graduate students are helping the give small business owners an edge in determining export opportunities. The Export Snapshot, designed to give small businesses a sense of their international opportunities for exporting products and services, is the center’s newest tool. Like all of the center’s market research services, is available to the center’s clients at no charge. Graduate Assistants Martial Trigeaud and Luis Cabanellas are responsible for researching and compiling the customized snapshots for clients in each of the center’s seven locations in Arkansas. They work in collaboration with Chris Kleinhofs, the center’s market research specialist. Each Export Snapshot includes the top five export markets for the client’s industry, the size and growth rate of the international market for the industry or product, plus domestic trends to consider. Internet links to international trade resources, information, and statistics also appear. “Any type of small business, from a printing company to a honey business, could use this information to help them decide if they want to export their products,” Trigeaud said. “This information gives them a good overview of the export market in other countries.” Since few small businesses in Arkansas export their products, international customers represent an untapped market opportunity that many Arkansas businesses overlook. In addition to Export Snapshot, Trigeaud and Cabanellas also assist with client consultations, conducting market research, geographic information system mapping, and translating documents, among other duties, at the center. More information about Martial Trigeaud and Luis Cabanellas Trigeaud is a 29-year-old MBA student from Angouleme, France. He moved to Little Rock so his wife could pursue a doctorate in applied science in neurochemistry and work at the ��Vlog��ýLR Center for Integrative Nanotechnology Sciences. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Poitiers in 2008 and a master’s degree in engineering industrial management in 2011. In addition to his MBA, he is also pursuing a certificate in business analytics. Having already worked as a production manager at multiple large European packaging companies, Trigeaud is excited to learn about the small business side of the equation through his work at the center. “My background is related to industries and big businesses, but I was interested to see the other side with small businesses,” Trigeaud said. “I believe the economy of a country is based on small businesses, so it is very helpful for organizations like ASBTDC to help new small business owners.” Cabanellas, a native of Madrid, Spain, has been in Arkansas since becoming a high school exchange student in 2009. He earned a bachelor’s degree of business administration in finance from ��Vlog��ýLR in 2015. He is currently pursuing his MBA as well as a business analytics certificate. After graduation, Cabanellas would like to work in marketing. He believes the experience he gained from the center will be an asset during his job search. “They were kind enough to give me a job that will give me professional experience that will look good on my resume and give me an opportunity to get hired after I graduate,” Cabanellas said. “For me, it’s about the real world experience. I am helping people, and helping actual businesses, not simply learning about case studies.” In the upper right photo, graduate assistants Luis Cabanellas (left) and Martial Trigeaud (right) work on an Export Snapshot report at the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center.
