He began his professional career with the Bay Lakes Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and in 1972, he and his brother John Brogan acquired the Bank of Kaukauna. Jim served as the bank Chief Executive Officer for over thirty years. He was passionately committed to secondary education and to the city of Kaukauna.
