White House cybersecurity coordinator; died at home in Muskego (not raised there)
$3,500,000
Howard Anthony Schmidt was a White House cybersecurity coordinator under Barack Obama, former chief security officer at Microsoft and eBay, and an early builder of government computer forensics. He died at his home in Muskego, the Wisconsin address that closes the story rather than opens it.
Born in Philadelphia on October 5, 1949, he learned munitions in the Air Force, flew three Vietnam tours, and spent his working decades largely in Arizona and Washington. He served on Chandler police SWAT and drug units, did FBI computer-exploitation work, and at the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in 1996 stood up the first dedicated computer-forensic laboratory in the U.S. government—the seed of what became the Defense Computer Forensic Laboratory. Amateur radio (first licensed WB7NUV, later W7HAS) was the origin story he told: Heathkits, a Sinclair ZX80 for moonbounce math, OSCAR satellite passes over Arizona.
Microsoft made him CISO; eBay made him chief security officer. After September 11, George W. Bush appointed him to the President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board. Obama named him White House Cybersecurity Coordinator in December 2009; he left in May 2012 to teach and partner with Tom Ridge. He died of brain cancer at sixty-seven on March 2, 2017, at home in Muskego. The New York Times put that house in the lead; the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called him a Muskego resident.

Muskego High and Wisconsin safety; NFL draft pick (Indianapolis, 2025)
$624,610
Hunter Wohler is the Muskego High safety who stacked three WIAA state titles, won Gatorade Wisconsin Football Player of the Year, captained Wisconsin, and reached the NFL with Indianapolis. The house that made him is still on Little Muskego Lake.
Born in Muskego on January 12, 2003, he was raised there after his family moved for water skiing, not football. He attended St. Joseph Catholic School—about 120 students in the whole building, eight in his eighth-grade class—then Muskego High, where the Warriors won three straight state championships. As a sophomore he recorded 155 tackles; his senior tape showed 78 tackles, two interceptions, and a 9-0 regular season cut short by the pandemic. Career high-school totals under the Gatorade release were 355 tackles and 11 interceptions. He was a two-time Associated Press state player of the year and signed with Wisconsin carrying a 4.29 weighted GPA.
At Wisconsin he became a captain and led all Big Ten defensive backs with 120 tackles in 2023, while still driving I-94 home for a library literacy program and a youth camp. Indianapolis drafted him in the seventh round in 2025 (232nd overall). Muskego remains the address; the lake is why the Wohlers came.

First permanent white settler of the Town of Muskego, 1836
$5,000
Luther Parker was the New Hampshire schoolteacher and justice of the peace who became the first permanent white settler of the Town of Muskego and later sat in Wisconsin's territorial assembly. He was born in Temple, New Hampshire, on December 18, 1800, taught school, made shoes, and helped draft the 1832 constitution of the short-lived Republic of Indian Stream on the unsettled New Hampshire–Canada border. Canadians arrested him in 1835. The next year he brought his wife, Alletta, and their children to Wisconsin Territory.
Giles French and Asa Parker were already in temporary quarters; in January 1837 Luther moved the family into a log cabin on the wooded south shore of the lake. County historians still call him the township's first permanent white settler. The 1845 election sent him to the territorial assembly that met in January 1846, where he served on the schools and engrossed-bills committees and chaired agriculture and manufactures. He was in the room when Waukesha County separated from Milwaukee County, and he sat on the county board in 1851.
He died in Muskego on June 16, 1853, at age fifty-two. Alletta was already buried in the Durham Hill ground; the cemetery later took the Parker name. His son Charles, raised on that farm from age nine, later served two terms as Wisconsin's lieutenant governor from St. Croix County. Muskego kept the father.

PBA commissioner; Muskego resident since 2005
$1 million
Tom Clark is the commissioner of the Professional Bowlers Association and a Muskego resident since 2005, when a United States Bowling Congress job brought him to Wisconsin. Syracuse made the bowler; the suburb kept the executive.
Born in Syracuse, New York, on April 29, 1969, he grew up watching Saturday PBA telecasts with a father who kept a 200-plus average and chose Buffalo State for journalism because the school fielded a bowling team. He still throws. In Muskego he settled with his wife, Kelli, and their children, Rory and Quinn; Rory later bowled at UW–Whitewater and Marian, and the family has bowled parent-child leagues locally.
Clark joined the USBC in 2005 as director of communications, rose to marketing vice president—helping launch BowlTV, revive the U.S. Women’s Open, and stage the Clash of Champions—and became PBA deputy commissioner in 2008. He took over as commissioner on November 1, 2011, later serving a stretch as CEO, and oversaw the World Series of Bowling, PBA League, Playoffs, and Tour Finals. In 2025 the USBC Hall of Fame inducted him for meritorious service, listing his city as Muskego.

Sportscaster and NBC Sports Boston host; Muskego High class of 1995, childhood in Wind Lake / Muskego-Norway
$1,200,000
Trenni Casey is the Milwaukee-area sportscaster who has anchored weeknights at NBC Sports Boston since 2012 and covered six Olympics for NBC, including curling at Sochi and PyeongChang, tennis at Rio and Tokyo, and the CNBC desk for Milan-Cortina 2026. She wanted television by age eight and grew up on Milwaukee sports—the 1982 Brewers, Robin Yount, Rollie Fingers, Paul Molitor—before leaving Muskego High School in 1995 for a probationary internship at WISN Channel 12.
Born Trenni Kusnierek in 1977, she spent her childhood in Wind Lake in the Town of Norway, with a Muskego yearbook that still ties her to the Warriors. She started at UW-Oshkosh, then transferred to Marquette after the station told her she needed that campus for the desk; she graduated in journalism in 1999 and stayed five years on the assignment desk and in the field. Her first on-camera job was at WXOW in Eau Claire in February 2000. She mailed a tape to Channel 58 “on a wing and a prayer” and came home. The embarrassing local story is County Stadium in summer 1998: practicing a stand-up while José Valentín was hitting, a photographer’s light in a Phillies pitcher’s eyes, the umpire stopping play, Matt Vasgersian on the air, and the park booing her.
From 2002 to 2007 she worked at Fox Sports Pittsburgh, then returned for the Brewers and MLB Network before the Boston chair. The dual-suburb claim is honest: Wind Lake for childhood, Muskego High for the diploma. The Olympics and the weeknight host seat are the national résumé.
