Our annual 40 Under 40 feature is like a box of fine chocolates: full of discoveries that are unique, outstanding and hard not to love. The talented and inspiring young people from our state that make up the Class of 2019 includes artists and musicians, entrepreneurs and political players, community activists, professional athletes, journalists and more.
