Describe HarenLaughlin's style:
"We are a professional and honest, team and family-based company."

What do you have in your office?

How did you land at HarenLaughlin?
"A former project manager, who I had worked with at another company, introduced me to Wells because he thought it would be a good fit. I guess he was right — I've been here 13 years."

If you had a week to spend doing whatever you wanted, what would it be?
"No doubt sitting on the beach, my feet in the sand, reading a 'beach trash' book, and enjoying a margarita (or Corona later in the day)."
