 What do you enjoy most about your work?

I enjoy the ability to help people figure out the problem and finding the right solution to fix the problem in a safe way. I also enjoy being able to tell people about how dangerous electricity is and how to be safe around it. 

 

What’s your favorite part of each workday? 

My favorite part of each day is helping coworkers with their tasks or being there if they just need to talk to someone. 

 

In your opinion, what makes KMC different?

KMC is different from other places I have worked because of the hours, my coworkers, and the management. KMC makes you feel like you’re family and it is a great company to work for. 

 

What’s something that might surprise people about your job?

I might surprise people with my ability to figure out solutions to problems that occur, such as electrical issues or issues with our Dryer’s burner system

 

What’s your favorite way to spend your time outside of work?

I like to spend time outside of work with my friends and family, hunting, running dogs, farming, helping my neighbors, taking my sons riding ATVs, and going on vacations with my family and friends.
