A.J. Waltz won the business planning competition for students locally sponsored by AIM Young Professionals of Greater Dearborn County.

AIM YP introduced the Maverick Challenge to Dearborn County in the Fall of 2012. When Waltz, an 18-year-old with a keen eye who owns his own fledgling photography business, heard about the opportunity from East Central business teacher Kelly Pettit, he jumped at it.

"I wanted to learn more about how to conduct my business," Waltz said. "I wanted to identify the weaknesses of my business and how to improve them."
