The Ambrose School is committed to training up great leaders. What better way than to learn from the best. Once a month, upper school students are invited to a lunchtime session with local leaders from a variety of backgrounds. This month, we were honored to welcome Dean Klein of Micron Technology.

Dean Klein is Vice President of Advanced Memory Solutions at Micron Technology. Mr. Klein joined Micron in January 1999, after having held several leadership positions at Micron Electronics, Inc., including Executive Vice President of Product Development and Chief Technical Officer. He also co-founded and served as President of PC Tech, Inc., previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron Electronics, Inc., from its inception in 1984.

Mr. Klein earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and a Master of Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. He holds over 250 patents in the area of memory and computer architecture. His wife of 35 years, Theresa, is really the key to his success. They have three sons and one daughter-in-law. Mr. Klein also promotes math and science in local schools, and is a mentor to the FIRST Robotics Challenge team the Bullbots (www.bullbots.org).
