What was your very first job?
In my senior year of high school, I worked at Bonanza steakhouse in Pocahontas, AR. Living in a small town, jobs were hard to come by! I was the “garden chef” (lol) in charge of putting out kale for garnish.
What skill would you most like to learn?
I want to ride a motorcycle! I can drive anything but a motorcycle – I guess I just never got around to it. There is still time!
What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish?
I’m an ‘80s kid – reading, movies and music were a huge part of my life. I can still quote many movies I grew up with, too many to name. But today, my answer would be “Elf” and “Life” (1999).
What is the strangest food combination you enjoy?
Cathead biscuits with chocolate gravy and homemade butter. This is not “strange” to me, but probably as different as I get. Other than chia seeds – I put them on everything, even in my drinks!
How would your friends describe you?
Super fun, exciting to be around; always dragging them to do something they probably would not do. Also, I am brutally honest (I know they hold their breath sometimes lol). If my mouth does not say it, my face will! I did reach out to some of my friends and their comments were: “Likes to try to push the horn while I’m driving, can reach the top shelf, protective, loyal, defender and generous.” This is the only question they knew about – I’m not a “pat myself on the back” type of person and I wanted an honest opinion.
If you were a superhero, what superpowers would you have?
I would be a protector for sure, and a giver. Every human and pet would have a safe home and food to eat. It hurts my heart to see homeless people and stray pets. I have been told, “Tammy, you cannot save them all!” and my answer is always, “I can try, one at a time.” My favorite quote from the Lord Huron song “Ends of the Earth” is “What good is livin’ a life you’ve been given, if all you do is stand in one place?”
What do you like most about your job with JK Products?
I have to say my customers and the people I work with. I am very customer service driven – I love talking to customers and getting to know them and their businesses. I am a helper at heart and it fills me with pride to help a business with products, information and updates they need to grow and succeed. I have also loved seeing the growth in JK Products & Services over the eight years I have been with the company. I am honored to work with a company that is always expanding and evolving in the tanning industry, and I’m proud to know I was part of JK’s growth.
