Inside The Mind Of...

  • What does "A Brighter Way" mean to you? You'll get something unexpected when working with a Rea team member.
  • What's your favorite aspect of your job? Every day there are new and different challenges to tackle.
  • Describe your work style. I work a lot on my own, but our brightest work comes from working together as a team.
  • What line of The Rea Way describes you the best? Embrace change. Be open to the possibilities.

Just For Fun:

  • What is the number one reason you would hire you? I get things done!

I'm a dedicated and loyal employee who is smart, has a good sense of business and is fun to work with.
