12 | The Show-Me Banker Magazine I know more and more people are using online banking capabilities and working remotely. It is hard, though, to quantify what you lose by not having those face-to-face contacts. Would you please tell us about your family? My wife Connie is an account executive for Assured Partners in Lee’s Summit. She works in the group health insurance area. My daughter Heather is an English teacher and cheerleading coach at Fort Osage High School in Independence, and I tip my hat to her because she is very patient to be able to do that. She was a four- year cheerleader and a team captain during her senior year at the University of Missouri. My son Travis graduated from Truman State University and works in quality control at Bayer in Kansas City. He’s also a lieutenant in the Missouri National Guard, and at the beginning of September, he was outside New Orleans helping with the hurricane disaster recovery efforts. My mother Hazel is still alive, and we are planning for her 101st birthday party in December. She also resides in Raymore. Our 4-year-old German Shepherd Kianna is another big part of our family. We didn’t think we wanted another dog after losing our last German Shepherd, but that lasted six months before I got the new puppy. What do you do in your spare time? I love to hunt and shoot. This June, I went to South Dakota prairie dog hunting with a group of friends. I don’t read as much as I used to, but I also love to listen to audiobooks. Do you have a favorite book or quote? Yes, it’s a quote by Thomas Sowell, who is an economist. InThe Vision of the Anointed, he said, “One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.” ■ ONE POWERFUL SOLUTION.
