I take on as much event planning as I can, even though it wasn't originally part of my job. I do it because I enjoy it, and I'm good at it. I have become the go-to person for event planning, and I like my job much more because of it.

When I first came here, we started using the new higher-speed equipment. Then lots of new guys came in. So I started helping them learn the job. Now it's just expected that I train the new guys. I did this in my previous job, so I have experience with it, and I like it because I'm able to help and work with guys from different backgrounds.

Music is a very important part of my life . . . I often liken teaching to being a musician because when I'm in front of a classroom, I put on my performance face. It's the same way with music. I remember when I was performing with my rock band and the high I got from playing in front of people was very similar to the high I get from performing teaching in front of students.
