How and when did you get involved in the tanning industry?
I’ve been working in the industry since 1996. For ten years, I worked for Nutri-Tan, which was a Kansas City area salon chain owned by Don DeWit and also worked for his distribution company, AWTS (A Wholesale Tanning Supply). For the past 16 years, I have worked with Greg and Brad Henson and Tammy Reed at Heartland Tanning.
What was your very first job?
I was a busboy at Perkins Restaurant in Grandview, MO.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A Chicken Bowl with rice and cheese from Chipotle.
How would your friends describe you?
They would say I am a very reliable family man who works hard.
Do you hit the snooze button or wake up immediately?
What’s a snooze button? (LOL) I wake up at 6:30am every morning, except on the weekends.
What do you like most about your job at Heartland Tanning?
The people I work for are truly family – it’s a family environment. The owners Greg and Brad, along with Tammy, do everything they can to help all the employees and give us a workplace where we can strive to be the very best we can in our jobs.
What is one of your pet peeves?
I would probably say it is not giving your all – I hate wasted talent or time. Everything you do in life and in work, do it 100%.
