Journal Honors 30 Under 40

It can be humbling to be in the company of this year’s winning class of the North Idaho Business Journal’s 30 Under 40. Almost all 27 winners this year attended Tuesday night’s award ceremony at The Cellar downtown. The winners were chosen by judges Steve Griffitts of Jobs Plus, Daniel Klocko of Kootenai Health and Eve Knudtsen of Knudtsen Chevrolet. How’s this for getting a lot done early in your career? Crystal Kubista is both the current elementary principal at Ramsey Magnet School of Science and co-owner of Franklin’s Hoagies on Fourth Street. “I know that the community is full of all kinds of wonderful people, so to be selected for this award is a huge honor,” Kubista said after the ceremony.
