It seems different people think of me in different
roles. Technically, I am a supervisor and the Bell
Captain. But I frequently hear my name being used
as “The Face of The Watergate.”
True friends aren’t discovered in the best of times,
they are revealed at the worst of times - because
they are the ones still at your side when the dust
and smoke settle.

Certainly to be recognized by my peers and
managers as the Employee of the Year has to be
one of the most humbling experiences of my life.
I don’t know - maybe, Ryan Philippe.

I’ve had an eclectic life and many unusual jobs from,
being the live-in grounds keeper to the heirs of the
Miller Brewery in Milwaukee; working with rockets,
bombs, and missiles on 6 air crafts carriers; to living
with an eskimo in his cabin as I was a carpenter at
Mt. Denali National Park in Alaska; to tinting the
windows on the Sears Tower in Chicago.
