| Tell us about your family. |
My husband (Robbie) and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage this year. We have an 8 year old son Aiden in 2nd grade and a 5 year old son Kyler in preschool.
|
| What are you currently reading or listening to? | I am currently reading a series by Sarah J Maas (my 45th book of the year). I love to read. |
| Name a recent movie you watched that blew you away. | Most of my movies are based upon what my kids are watching. The last movie I went to was Transformers One. |
| What are you currently binge-watching? | Yellowstone, it’s been too long since the last season aired! |
| Best restaurant you’ve ever been to? | I love Rosie’s Sports Bar & Grill, I love their Hawaiian pizza! |
| If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? | A soft serve pretzel with cheese |
| Favorite place you’ve traveled? | My favorite place so far has been Kaua’i, Hawaii. All of the sights were breathtaking and I can’t wait to share them with my kids some day. |
| What did you want to be when you grew up? | When I was younger I always had a fascination with the ocean. I thought I was going to do something with marine life in the ocean. |
| Where are you from? Where did you go to school? | I am from Kearney Nebraska and went to college at University of Nebraska – Kearney. I earned my degree in Industrial Distribution. |
| What is the most unique or interesting thing about you that most people probably don’t know? | When my son Aiden was born, he was only 6 hours old and the Husker Football team visited the hospital. A few players got to hold my son and took pictures with us. It was definitely not something I was expecting! |
| What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever done? | The strangest thing I have ever done is swim with pigs in the Bahamas. Those two things don’t seem to go together! |
| What is your greatest talent that you don’t utilize in your daily work life? | I don’t know about it being a talent, but I love doing crafts. When I have free time I enjoy making things for other people and creating crafts for my house. |
| If you could have a superpower, what would it be? | I would like the ability to clean my house with the snap of a finger. |
| When you’re not working, how do you enjoy spending your time? | I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, doing puzzles and crafts. |
| Who is someone who’s made a big impact on your life? Why? | My kids have made the biggest impact on my life. They have changed my perspective on life and the important things in life. |
| If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would it be and why? | Can I say my cat? The ability to sleep all day and not have a care in the world sounds pretty good to me. |
| If you could have dinner with one famous person from the past or present, who would it be? | Not famous, but I would choose my Grandpa. I would love to sit down with him again and hear stories about his life growing up. I didn’t pay enough attention in the past when I had the chance. |
| What do you love the most about your job? | I love helping people make their inspirations come to life. I enjoy asking people about their daily lives and how they use certain plumbing features in their home. Asking them to think about how they use their sink in the kitchen or utility room etc. So we can make sure we have selected the best products to fit their needs. |
| What experiences and past roles have led you to where you are today? | In college, I did my internship with Manhattan Winnelson. Which directly led me to the business I am in today. |
| What career advice do you live by? Who gave it to you? |
If you aren’t happy with where you are at, change it. My husband.
|
| What’s one skill you’d like to develop or sharpen this year? | I would like to learn more about lighting to help expand sales in that area. |
| What are your future goals and aspirations for your career? | I would like to grow our business and team up with more builders, contractors and designers. |
| How long have you been a member of HBAL? | Myself, probably about 7 years. |
| How has your career benefited from being a member of HBAL? | I have been able to connect with different people and strengthen my relationship with those I already know. |
| What is your favorite HBAL event and why? | I love collecting cans for the Home and Garden show. I enlist the help of my oldest son and my nephew. They really enjoy building the house with all the cans that are collected. |
