What year did you start working for ELS?
May of 2013 but I have been in the business since July 1990. I worked with Francis at Wiltermood Associates from 1990 to 1993.
What do you like most about working at ELS?
I really like most things about ELS. They are very good to their employees. I really like working with Francis again after so many years.
If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
My goal as a biologist was to be a zookeeper or a park ranger so it would be awesome to work with raptors and owls at the Woodland Park Zoo for one day.
What is something about yourself that might surprise others?
I lived in a hippie commune area when I was in junior high school in Eastern Washington. We had no running water or electricity and had to use an outhouse.
