MORGAN GRIFFITH: Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of Hannon Hill’s ‘Meet The Team.’ Today we’re getting to know Brett Goodwin, who has been a member of Hannon Hill’s professional services department for over two years.
BRETT GOODWIN: Yes I have.
MORGAN: And how did you first come to work here?
BRETT: Well, I had been living in Atlanta for a year, and was not really happy with the job I had. I had gotten into the habit of browsing craigslist every day, and in fact that’s where I had found my apartment and my car. So I figured why not a job. So one day I decided I wanted a new job. I logged on, found a listing that sounded good, and sent in my first application. I had an interview the next day and was offered a job. The rest is history.
MORGAN: Hannon Hill has grown a lot since your first day working here. What kind of changes have you seen?
BRETT: It’s been pretty amazing watching and growing alongside this company. When I started as a software developer, the entire company was in one large office room, about one eighth the size of our current office. We’ve also managed some incredible improvements in our planning and project management processes in the services department. We’re able to do a lot more work much more quickly.
MORGAN: So, what's your role at Hannon Hill now?
BRETT: I am currently a systems analyst in the services department. I help our clients plan comprehensive solutions to their content management needs using Cascade Server, and then make sure that those plans get implemented successfully. It’s pretty cool to help a client turn an idea into a fully realized solution.
MORGAN: You’ve gotten to do a bit of traveling with Hannon Hill, haven’t you?
BRETT: Yes, last summer I was a trainer for a bit, and I got to visit clients to do on-site training. I got to travel to New York City; Scranton, PA; and Schenectady, NY among others.
MORGAN: Have you been to any other cool travel destinations?
BRETT: Yes, I also went to Las Vegas last summer in an attempt to get my professional poker career off the ground. Obviously that didn’t work out. I’ve also been to Berlin, Amsterdam, and went to San Diego last month.
MORGAN: Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about yourself?
BRETT: Well… let’s see. I like to snowboard, when I’m actually in a place where there’s snow. I still watch cartoons on Adult Swim on a pretty regular basis. My favorite food is sushi, and my current hobby is learning to play guitar.
MORGAN: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us!
BRETT: You’re welcome.
