What experience or skills have helped in your position?

Before joining the Profit Builders team and working closely with our accountants in Wichita, I worked at NetApp as a software quality assurance engineer in the engineering department. I designed and tested all products to ensure high levels of quality and eventually moved on to serve as an engineering trainer for the quality assurance team as a part of the NetApp University group. Here, I helped train new hires and engineers to test software and coordinate communication between teams, contributing significantly to my current role at Profit Builders.
What do you like about working for Profit Builders?

I love the people I work with at Profit Builders. I appreciate all of the perks that we get, such as Friday afternoons off. I also appreciate that Michelle has developed a family-flexible work environment that allows me to support my family and still get my job done. Not only does the leadership team entrust me to make decisions for the company, but since we are a smaller company, we don’t experience the stresses that accompany working for a large corporation. Everyone at Profit Builders is held accountable for their decisions, but there is always grace for failures!
What do you like to do in your spare time?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, playing basketball, golfing, drumming, sound engineering, traveling, and studying geography and history. I have also previously helped volunteer with the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, the Kansas Food Bank, and His Helping Hands.
