What is your family structure? Happily married since 2010 with 3 wonderful boys and another on the way!

What is your city of residence? Lafayette- Born and raised!

Why did you choose to be a safety professional? After graduating from Purdue, I entered Human Resources. The company I worked for needed someone to help out with Safety. I started their Safety Program and ran with it. I then fell in love with the Safety profession, the opportunities, goals and successes!

How long have you been a safety professional? Since 2006- 10 years

What do you like to do in your free time? Spend time with the family, work around the house, garden and exercise!

What is your favorite safety tip? Lead by example, it goes much farther than you would ever know.

What is one fact you would like everyone to know about you? My Dad has worked at Subaru since 1990. I now work for the same place that has put food in my mouth and clothes on my back since I was a little guy. Now I’m able to do the same for my family! I also get to eat lunch with and converse daily with my Dad at work. I couldn’t be more blessed!

What organizations do you belong to? The only one that matters! = Greater Lafayette Area Safety Council

What is your favorite quote? How many people you bless is how you measure success!

While winter slips and falls can make us all laugh at times, winter slips and falls is a serious issue for all workplaces.  Take a minute to enjoy the lighter side of the issue with this video:

If you missed today’s meeting, you missed a very informative presentation on Lighting Safety.  Jason talked about emergency lighting and the testing requirements associated with it and also provided us with a glimpse into the future of lighting technology and the safety applications in which it can be used.  Thank you for all the great information you had to share.  We also want to thank The Anderson’s of Delphi for the great lunch.  The meal from Panda Express was very tasty.
