Let us know you a little bit better. Would you tell us something you like to do when you are out of the office?
For me (Joel), my curiosity and passion for learning often lead me to engage in interesting experiences, such as being part of ROTATE. During my free time, I love being with friends and participating in a diverse range of activities, including sports like football, and enjoying the great outdoors.
I(Adam) also enjoy the outdoors, but painting and fishing, along with a healthy dose of being with family and friends, are some of my interests when I’m not in the office.
