Tricia Nordby

Founder and Board Member

Ms. Nordby has tossed aside the status quo her whole life. She is the first Young Alumna of the Year of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, researched her Honors Thesis at Harvard University and the Library of Congress, and was awarded best thesis of the year for work that “trounced the leading academics and turned the accepted narrative in American History upside down.”

In 1990, she was selected to represent Apple – arguably the world’s most powerful brand. This proved to be a defining period of her life.

In 1994, she founded her own full-service communications agency, creating a new business model that would revolutionize the industry. Ms. Nordby was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, a Forty Under 40 Person to Watch, one of the Fast 50 of Minnesota Business, and awarded numerous national design titles.

Ms. Nordby holds a deep passion for America – its founding, its purpose, and its future. Over the past few decades she has watched this nation’s values undermined – first quietly and then aggressively. This is especially true in the education system.

Who can fix this? American entrepreneurs. There is no greater innovator, no greater leader, no greater change agent than the American business person.

Ms. Nordby is gathering an army of American entrepreneurs who will capture the hallowed ground of American exceptionalism, form a new mode of learning, and ensure that our children will grow into the next greatest generation.

Kris Harper

Founder and Board Member

Ms. Harper awakened to the necessity of Gold Groves Academy decades before it existed. A passionate advocate for children’s whole health – mind, body, and soul – Ms. Harper has warriored against the detrimental effects of the education system.

However, her angel presence in the arena of education was only part of the equation forming her conviction. Ms. Harper’s groundbreaking work as a quantum coach was filing stories away in her mind, year after year. As she reflected on the landscape of these unique lives, she realized there was a common denominator: so much of what she strove to release and re-code in her clients had been cultivated within the walls of “learning.”

Ms. Harper now knew that her greatest contribution to humanity would not be repairing beings; it would be creating an environment for an entire generation to grow unbroken, unbound, untethered. She will direct the half of Gold Groves Academy which is sorely lacking in traditional education: quantum intelligence, sovereignty, and the fertile ground of the subconscious.

Ms. Harper is the author of the must-read book You Chose That: A Truth Conversation. Her words remind the reader that a divinely destined life is CHOSEN, whether you are seven years old or 70. Change does not need to be gradual, incremental. It can occur in a blinding flash of awareness…if you so choose.

Ms. Harper is also an expert in clearing the body and environment of residual toxins, and will be bringing this knowledge to the institution of Gold Groves Academy, and to all its constituents.
