I think I know almost all of them....it is a long and distinguished list!

My picks would have to be......

Kurtis Montgomery - he taught me to leave nothing for granted...review every detail, every time, and look under the rocks

Bill Campion (old T&K buddy)- he taught me that with any thing has to come a delivery from your heart. Sincerity is the best developer anyone can have

Pat Katz - Make your people winners, no matter what, and they will be happy

Marlene Hunter - anything worth doing well is worth doing with enthusiasm

Steve Gehrts - all you can do is the best you can everyday and if that isn't good enough, give yourself a break

Bob Fenzel (old T&K buddy) - whatever you do today, make sure it makes your job a little easier tomorrow

I could go on and on because there are so many great people at T&K. I will add some more later!

Well I can't limit it to just one, so here's the partial list...

Amanda Hite. When she talks to a crowd she actually moves them. She is one of the best motivational speakers I know. Thanks Amanda for all that you've done for my T& K career!

Scott Hutchinson. For having faith in me and what I do, for having confidence in my abilities. Thanks Scott!

Andy Swingley. For being there for me when I thought no one cared. Thanks Andy!

Richard Ray. One of the best GM's I've ever had the opportunity to work with (and there have been many!) Thanks Richard!

John O'Neal. For always making me say WOW! Thanks John!

Mike Suthard. For being a great KM in Springfield and teaching me so much about the BOH. Thanks Mike and good luck in your new position as GM in Huber Heights!

Ed Yuhasz. Also for having faith in me and believeing in my abilities. Thanks Ed! (enjoy the grape pop tarts!)

Kathy Olsen. For keepin it real! Thanks Kathy!

Stephanie Maggertt. Stephie is my baby sister. She works at #306 in Troy. She's been there since they opened the doors. She mentioned to me one day that they were looking to hire a host. Guess I'm a bit of an over achiever! Thanks Steph!

John Wilhelm. For hiring me! Thanks John!

This is just the tip of my Iceberg! I've had the opportunity in my 3 1/2 years with this company to work with many wonderful people who have impacted me. When I think about my future with T & K there are so many people I need to thank for helping me get to where I am today. You all ROCK!!!
