Gant Welborn | LGT Class of 2025
Compiled by LAUREN JURGENSEN | Photos by BRIAN PETERS
What was your first job as an adult and what did you learn from it?
Loan officer at Envista Credit Union. I learned I have the ability and responsibility to help hardworking people in Topeka. It made me realize at a young age that I shouldn’t take anything for granted and to be thankful for everything I’ve been given.
If you could have coffee with anyone in Topeka, who would it be and what would you ask them?
My wife of 31 years. “What are you doing for the rest of your life?”
What are you doing to make Topeka a stronger community?
I was recently able to volunteer with others at FHLBank Topeka to help paint and put new flooring in the Hope Center. I’m looking forward to the opportunities that are in front of me by participating in LGT. I hope the connections I make will allow me to pour into the community and make a difference in people’s lives.
In your opinion, what does Topeka need the most right now?
We need road construction to be completed. It’s difficult to go anywhere in town and not have a detour.
What is your walk-up song?
“I Will Rise” by Chris Tomlin. It’s my favorite song If you could have coffee with anyone in Topeka, and reminds me of my grandparents.
