What motivated you to become a designer (or current role?)?

My Dad and The Brady Bunch

When you are retired and look back on your life, what is the biggest accomplishment you hope to achieve?

A life that allows me to be happy with the decisions that I have made to make clients and the firm successful, while I sit on my house boat relaxing before starting my gig as the local bartender.

What does successful workplace culture mean to you?

A firm that acts like, treats the people they work with and has the nerve to refer to one another as family.

If you had to pick one word that best represents Bergmeyer's culture, what would it be, and why?

Energized, because even when you are not feeling it, there is someone there to help get you going.

What would you be doing if you were not working in this industry?

I would probably be a bartender. I love talking to people and especially more about them than myself…plus I love experimenting with drink recipes.

What’s the most important part of your morning routine?

What’s your most powerful characteristic?

Patience (so many times that you need it)
