YP OF THE QUARTER
1.) What do you love about your job?

I love that I get to work on a variety of different projects at one time.  It keeps me interested and makes the time fly by.  I'm not sure
I could work on one thing day in, day out.

2. What's the most important aspect of what you do?

Realizing that I am part of a team effort in producing a product for our clients.

3. Where do you work?

I work in Aiken, SC for Tetra Tech, an environmental engineering and consulting company.

4. Is the customer always right?

Well, technically they may not be right.  But if you work as a consultant, they tend to be right a lot more of the time.

5. Favorite Augusta landmark?

The River.

6. Favorite past time?

Haven't done it in a while, but I like to kayak on the river.  I'm not an expert by any means, but I do enjoy paddling around.  I get
in a little exercise, maybe try my luck at fishing (or, up to this point, total lack thereof), and just have an all-around relaxing time.

7. Favorite book?

That's a hard question.  I might have to get back to you on that one...

8. Most recent movie seen?

It's been a while, but I think the last movie I saw was Up in the Air.  It wasn't too bad, and I can somewhat relate with all the
travelling I do.

9. What is a quote that might make you famous?

Hopefully not too much of a downer (and, I'm sure I'm using or modifying someone else's words here), but I like: "Always look
out for yourself.  There aren't many people around who will do it for you."

10. What is your favorite place to travel?

Anywhere with a beach!  That said, I really enjoy spending time in Charleston, SC.  However, given the opportunity, it would not
hurt my feelings to go to Australia and New Zealand (places I've never been.....yet).

11.  What is the best business lesson that you have learned?

Other than being extremely careful when choosing "reply all" on an email....But seriously, I would say the best lesson I've learned
so far is to learn as many different skills as possible.  Not only will they make you more valuable to your current employer, they will
make you more marketable to any future ones.
