What makes you happy?

I have three younger brothers and a ten-year-old son. My brother and I grew up in Alexandria. Most of my dad’s side of the family lives in Virginia, and there are a lot of them. I have many cousins with kids. My mom’s family is from West Virginia. I see my grandma the most out in Rileyville, Virginia (Near Luray). My father was a top-notch floor installer for thirty years, and now he works for McCormick paints.

My only pet was a dog named Bear. He was a chow/shepherd mix who lived to be around 15 years old. Best dog ever. My son’s dog is a walker hound named Maddie. Hopefully, we will get another dog soon.

What is your favorite part of your job?

I have many favorite parts of my job. One is troubleshooting problems within electrical systems and finding the solution to get it working properly again. Second is working with customers to find out what they need or want, doing the work, and having them be more than satisfied with the outcome and experience. The third thing would be all of the different things that I come across in a workweek; it makes my job more challenging than just a “day in day out” monotony.

My dad always said to take your time, do a good job, do it right, and always give it your best.

What makes you happy?

Tell us about your family.

I am lucky enough in life to say that I was raised with two moms. My mother and her sister alongside the help of their parents raised my sister and myself. If I wanted something when I was a kid my would have gone to the end of the world for it. My Aunt spoiled me rotten when I was a kid and still does today. I had my sister apply for CSR position at W.E. Brown. She has been successful here and was promoted to office manager, (which at the time, I’m not sure how I feel about it). Her husband John Kelly also works here in the contract department. I am thrilled to have him as My Brother in Law.

I have one dog named Cosmo and a cat named Chubby. Cosmo is a big fur ball German Shepard, and if you throw a ball, he will just look at you with his lazy eyes. Chubby in her younger days was the spawn of the devil but has mellowed out in her older age.
