When Doug Hultquist left Muscatine, Iowa, for Augustana College in August of 1973, he looked like a guy who had his life planned out.
His classmate and sophomore girlfriend, Nancy Reed, was attending Augie with him. He would marry her two weeks after their college graduation in 1977.
Back then, he planned to be a high school math teacher and a golf/basketball coach.
But the unexpected path worked for Hultquist. In November, he announced his retirement from QCR Holdings Inc., effective May of 2019, after a successful career in accounting and banking. He retires as president and CEO.
