New Babies, New Weddings, New Employees, and More!
With an ever-growing staff like we have at alpscontrols.com, it's inevitable that we're going to experience a string of those Big Life Milestones from time to time — and 2015 was a big year for growth, change, and new life.
On July 12th of last year, our UX* Designer Joe Benscoter got himself married off to Abagail, whom he met when the two of them traded coffee for tacos while working at adjacent restaurants in Beaver, Pennsylvania. These two crazy kids honeymooned on Mackinac Island where they rode horses, rode bikes around the island, and enjoyed some excellent meals.
Here are two more pictures of the happy couple.
Nicely done, Joe and Abagail!*UX stands for "user experience." Impress your friends!
July 2015 was a busy month! It also brought the birth of Greta Ann Mead, daughter of Jake and Clare Mead. She's our Southwest Region Sales Representative, and the family lives in Austin, Texas.
Greta — who also enjoys the distinction of having our own Dave Meyers as her grandpa — was born a week early on July 19th. Now she's learning to eat big-people food, with a particular enjoyment of broccoli and avocados. She also goes by the nickname "Chicken" because she loves to squawk.
Are you overloaded with adorableness yet? Because here's another picture of Greta and here's one of the happy trio.
Welcome to the world, Greta!
Alex Boguszewski joined alpscontrols.com in November 2015. He's our new Software Quality Engineer on our Website Development team, working to test and ensure that our software products will meet the needs and wants of our customers.
And wouldn't you know it? Alex barely had time to warm up his seat in our IT department before he got married, too. Alex and Bonnie were wed January 2, 2016, among many friends and family. The next morning, the newlyweds boarded the Norwegian Star for a seven-day cruise to Roatan, Belize City, Costa Maya, and Cozumel.
Great to have you on the team, Alex, and best wishes to you and Bonnie!
