“I have the August 1983 issue of Wrestling World here. There’s a terrific article about a wrestler named the Revolting Blob.”
Post what movie this quote is from by August 12 for a chance to win a “Live United” T-shirt. No IMDB allowed. Congrats to last month’s winner, Heather Whitten, who recognized a quote from Independence Day.
1. Where do you work?
I work at TRC. It’s a staffing and placement firm. I am the recruitment manager. I’ve been here for a little under a year.
2. How long have you lived in St. Louis?
I’ve lived in St. Louis all my life. I went away to college, but I only went to Mizzou so I didn’t go far.
3. How and when did you get involved with GenNext?
I got involved earlier this year, around January or February. A friend of mind from college has been involved with GenNext and he was telling me about all the opportunities they offer. I was finally at a good place in my career where I could devote some time to giving back so I decided GenNext would be perfect.
4. What’s been your favorite GenNext activity or memory?
Definitely St. Louis Serves Day. I was at a school in St. Louis painting. It was really eye-opening for me when I talked to some of the employees. Their whole job was centered on philanthropy. It actually made me feel a little self-centered. It made me want to devote more of my time to helping people. Click to learn more
