• What was your first job?

  Osco Drug, Clerk in Camera Department. I have a love of photography and working with the public. I truly enjoyed my first job.

• What do you love most about EOMs?

  I love to hear the backstory of how the company first got started. All the early blood, sweat, and tears moments / the struggle to get to where they are now. The EOMs are truly a unique breed of people – their commitment is amazing.

• Do you have any skills or talents that most people don't know about?

  I LOVE interior decorating. This is my creative outlet. I find joy in the hunt of sourcing products for the look I’m after. In my next life, I will be an interior designer.

• If you could possess one super-human power, what would it be?

  Make people tell the truth, get along, and be happy. Too many unhappy, unethical, and war-torn people in the world. We are on this planet for a short time, we need to make the most of it.
