What’s your title with Seakeeper?

Supply Chain Analyst

Briefly describe your role at Seakeeper as if you were explaining it to someone in another department. What’s your day-to-day like? What’s your piece in the Seakeeper puzzle? 

I fill a data analytics role. I take raw data and put it into usable information for production inventory and spares. I primarily work in Netsuite and Excel.

What were you doing before you joined the Seakeeper team?

I was a buyer at UGI Utilities.

When did you start at Seakeeper?

I’ve been here 4 years this past September.

How have things changed since then?

When I started, I was on the Gyro side. For a year, I was helping with the Ride Program to get launched then I came back to Gyro. I was traveling a lot to the 3PL at that time to Detroit. I was doing anything that needed to be done to get the launch done. As a company, we do continue to grow and change on a daily basis on the offerings that we have. Everything has been constant in terms of what I do on a daily basis since I came back to Gyro.

What’s the most interesting or challenging job you’ve been confronted with at Seakeeper?

Netsuite…the amount of customization that has been done with Netsuite and following the breadcrumbs to see how we got here and how we have customized the system processes.

What is one of your biggest personal accomplishments at Seakeeper?

I would say the Ride launch – that was huge. Being there when the first Ride unit came off the line. I was there with Andrew Semprevivo. I got to see it from start to finish.

What do you like most about working at Seakeeper?

The people- there are a lot of great people here!

Our company is growing fast—what advice would you give to new hires?

Hang on and enjoy the ride!

Who’s one person at Seakeeper that’s had the greatest impact on your time here?

I would say Ian Shollenberger. He understands what I’m good at and gives me the ability to give what is needed. I have an odd skill set – I’ve always done things that no one else wants to do and it can be hard for supervisors to appreciate that skill set and he does!

Do you have a personal motto or mantra? What is it? Why?

An ounce of prevention is worth of cure. It goes back to me being different and spending time on the front end to save time on the back end in the work that we do. If I see something, I’ll fix it no matter how small. I’ll frustrate myself if I don’t fix it now.

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise the rest of us.

I love to take things apart to see how they work. I take apart fishing reels and fix them for people! I also taught myself how to locksmith. My mother-in-law got her key stuck in the deadbolt at my house and I took apart the whole deadbolt and now I know how to re-pin all my doors and deadbolts.
