Years at PRPL: 4.5

What do you do here?

You mean, what don’t I do here? I handle anything related to A/R and A/P, payroll, on-site HR, overall office management, vendor/contractor relationships, bookkeeping, brokering insurance relationships (both health and company based), office maintenance, etc. Basically anything that needs to be done that isn’t directly part of someone else’s job description.

What was the inspiration for your playlist?

Stuff to listen to at the gym. I’ve been lazy and really need to update it though, probably because I haven’t gone to the gym in a while. I need to get on that.

If you were a member of the Duck Dynasty cast, who would you be and why?

Hah. I have no clue. Jase maybe? I’m a fan of the simple and logical things. My life isn’t that scripted though.

What is the weirdest thing you eat often?

I drink egg whites. Does that count?

Netflix, HBO GO, or Hulu?

Netflix, because I don’t want to pay for HBO.

How is your adorable little daughter most like you?

She never sits still or listens!

If we went through your pockets, what would we find on any given day?

A phone, a knife, and a bunch of receipts. But don’t touch my pockets. Weirdo.

How long are you growing your beard?

As long as it will let me. Or I get bored and shave it off. I don’t know if I want to look like I’m 19 again though.

Do you believe there is life beyond Earth?

Of course. I think it would be ignorant to believe we’re the only thing out there. Neil deGrasse Tyson says so!

You’re one of the most tenured vets at PRPL. What’s your favorite part about working here?

Every day can be different, and what you do makes a big impact. We’re still a small company at heart, so there isn’t an army of people waiting to take over for you if you’re not there. The work you do and decisions you make can directly help lead the company towards success for both its employees and clients. You’re special here!
