Position: Support Supervisor*

*Been with InMotion Hosting since: October 2013*

**How did you get started in the web hosting field?**

I had experience in intranets from my accounting and tax practice. After selling the business, I acquired a job with my family as a webmaster. In that position I started using Joomla! in the Mambo days. I also developed and co-authored some components for that Joomla. Eventually it spawned into a business that provided Joomla support and services. Doing the development work gave me exposure to web hosting which I found to be very exciting.

**What is your current role at InMotion Hosting? What do you like most about it?**

I am the Third Shift Support Supervisor. I love working third shift.  The team is smaller than the other shifts so it feels like a close family.  We tend to communicate more face to face rather than via a messaging system.  We are constantly looking out for and helping each other so we can thrill our customers.

**Coolest gadget you own, want to own or have read about?**

My Android phone, LG3.  I am lost without it.

**What would you like to tell us about yourself?**

I love my job at InMotion Hosting. I moved up quickly in the company.  I plan on staying with InMotion until retirement.

**Describe your personality in one word?**

Mature.
