I enjoy the people I work with as  they are like family. I especially enjoy when we have a new product come through. I enjoy seeing and helping get it started.  It is enjoyable even though it is a lot of work.

Tell us about any mentors you’ve enjoyed working with over the years.

When Tony Strawn was production manager I learned a lot from him. My current boss, Mike Gray, has been one of the best bosses I could hope for as he is supportive of his team. I have learned a lot from him and plan to continue learning everyday.
