What I really do:

I make sure our machines keep running, the coasters get made, and we exceed our customers expectations.

What I love about my job:

The people I work with. They bring a smile to my face and make my job easier.

Favorite coaster:

My oversized beer bucket coaster that I use for a mousepad. What's a mousepad you ask? Google it. Otherwise, I love our new Scratch and Sniff Coasters, Foil Stamp Coasters, and Thermochromic Coasters.

What I do when I'm not working at Katz:

I have a new-found affection for the outdoors and I love to travel. I tend to find the need to stay busy. Some may dispute my hiking abilities, however.

Secret ambition:

There are too many to list..."I know nothing with any certainty but the sight of stars makes me dream." – Vincent Van Gogh

I have a weakness for:

Pakes. (A pie inside of a cake. Seriously.) Anything coconut flavored or themed (candy, cookies, palm trees, tropical weather)...and Taylor Swift.

Motto to live by:

If you're not laughing, you're not living.

I'm listening to:

There's just too much to list. I have an amalgamation of music that changes daily. I play iPod survivor sometimes just to make room for new music.

I like to read:

Carl Hiassen has a great ability to hold my interest from cover to cover. Accidental Billionaires and Freakonomics are recent reads. INC and FastCompany are monthly reads.
