| I started with Southwest as a Reservations Sales Agent at the Dallas Reservations Center in 1991. I think Reservations Employees are always the best informed of new systems, procedures, and the goings on of all Employee groups. We have to know things to answer the public's questions. In college, I began DJing at a local watering hole. I had a knack for it and it was good for about 11 years and put me through the final years of school and paid the bills and taught me a trade that was completely untransferable. Luckily, I found a home at Southwest and worked my way into Employee Communications, starting as a representative and becoming a graphic designer and then working on the company intranet. I am now on the Multimedia team working mostly with Red Belly Radio, but doing some video and whatever else needs to be done. Being a podcaster, people probably think I was one of those never-shut-up club DJs, but they are wrong. I rarely talked on the mic figuring that if people wanted to hear a DJ talk, they would turn on a radio. My first podcast was about a hobby of mine--chili. Thus proving that there is a podcast on virtually every topic. Actually it is a lot of fun and is about competitive chili cooking and it dates back to July of 2005. A long time in podcast years. Lately, I have fallen behind on that one since I have been doing Red Belly Radio but trust me, a lot more people hear this one. Perhaps my biggest claims to fame are my 17th place in chili at the 2006 Terlingua International Chili Championship. Cooler than it might sound, there were 335 cooks that day and every one of them had to qualify to get there. And there is my Alamo Heights Series of Poker Championship. Some buddies of mine started playing cards in one of the guys’ back room. After 15 short years, I won. It puts me in a rather exclusive club and I still get recognized in San Antonio (well when I am in the right zip code—okay, in the right house.) | |
