Q & A:
What is one of your greatest professional accomplishments?
– I had to relocate due to my wife being transferred I left a position I truly enjoyed (much like this one). Six months after I left, they asked me to attend a company event, at that event I received the yearly award for “Outstanding Service and Spirit”. To bring back an ex-employee and honor them speaks not only to the impact they felt I made while with them, but the feeling this company has towards their associates.
What do you like to do outside of work?
– I like to play golf and cook. I find enjoyment in concerts and the local comedy club. I look forward to day trips with my wife and Eclipse, our Black Lab.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself:
– I had a store in Cooperstown, New York, and at one time I had contracts with 23 Hall of Famer baseball players to do autograph signings at my store.
