I joined Emphasys (Memory Lane Systems) almost 25 years ago, and I’m still here in Northern Michigan where it all began. Starting as a technical writer in the Communications department, which gradually evolved into the marketing team, I’ve been part of a wide range of projects that keep things interesting. A typical day might include release notes, tradeshows, webinars, conferences, announcements, sales support, and email marketing.

With the kids now out of the house and no longer needing my involvement in their school events, Scouts, sports, science projects, and plays, I have started working on getting an old Jeep running again.

Though much has changed over the years, I enjoy collaborating with and supporting my fellow teammates. All of them are dedicated to the cause of affordable housing and take immense pride in their work with PHAs. They truly have the best interests of our customers at heart.

And no, I’m not related to Dave.

And now, The Five Questions:

    1. Most used app on your phone? Google Maps
    2. If you could be somebody else at Emphasys for a day, who would you be? Jerry Van D (that guy knows some stuff!)
    3. If you had an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Learn to play the harmonica 
    4. The zombie apocalypse is coming; who are three people you want on your team? Paul H. (farmer), Rodney M. (mechanic), Jim R. (class clown)
    5. Favorite ice cream flavor? Strawberry
