Troy Niese: “I wish we had gotten a picture of how much water Michael Seeger got on himself while trying to hook up the coffeemaker.”

A couple of weeks back was moving day for our Loveland office. After six years on Glendale-Milford Road, the Loveland crew packed up and moved four miles up the road to Tri-Ridge Boulevard. Our new digs include more space, a cool water feature in front of the building, and, thanks to a thoroughly soaked Michael Seeger, a coffee station that now leaks only caffeine, not embarrassment.
Now, we at Choice One have a long and storied history of overcomplicating the simple act of connecting a coffee machine. Past attempts have included six trips to the hardware store and at least one incident involving duct tape. This time, we skipped the hardware store—but not the waterworks. Michael’s pants stayed wet for at least six hours, which is either a testament to his dedication to drinking coffee or a bold new take on business casual.
Despite the splash zone, the move was a success. The team is settling in, the coffee is flowing, and the floors are [currently] dry. We knew that the new location came with a water feature, but Michael’s contribution made it interactive. Thanks, Michael. You brewed it beautifully.

Little Lambs Preschool in Russia, OH now has a new playhouse! Thank you to Habitat for Humanity of Miami & Shelby Counties, OH for letting us be part of the fun.Its hot out there this week, but this playhouse is super cool!
Yesterday afternoon, our Executive Director Scott Barr and Choice One President Matt Hoying presented a playhouse sponsored by Choice One Engineering to Kim Poeppelman at Little Lambs Preschool in Russia.
Scott spoke to the sponsorship, explaining that Project Playhouse is a funding initiative launched by Habitat for Humanity MSCO last year. Each playhouse is sponsored for $2500.00 or more and once built by Habitat volunteers, it is donated to a youth-serving organization in our area. Funds raised as part of Project Playhouse are restricted for use in the Home Repairs Program. This program focuses on critical repairs as well as accessibility improvements for qualified homeowners. In 2024, thanks to sponsorship partners like @choiceoneengineering Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties was able to complete 17 critical home repairs and dedicate 22 playhouses. In 2025, our goal is to make an even bigger impact with at least 20 home repairs!
We wish the children playing at Little Lambs Preschool many hours of joy imagining this home as their own! Thank you Choice One!
If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring a Project Playhouse build, a park bench package, or a picnic table package please contact Scott Barr at 937-332-3763.
If you are interested in volunteering with HFHMSCO, please contact Maureen O'Keefe at 937-332-3763 x0.

Choice Mindsets:
Blood, Sweat, and Cheers!
Brian Barhorst: “200 donations just kinda started as a friendly competition to reach 10 gallons.”
conta.cc/4kblmqa
Long-time Choice One designer Brian “Barney” Barhorst recently hit his 200th lifetime blood donation. That’s right—two hundred. For context, that’s enough blood to fill a small kiddie pool, or, more practically, to help save an estimated 600 lives. No big deal, right?
What began as a casual challenge among peers has turned into a decades-long commitment to giving back. While most of us are still trying to remember our blood type, Barney has been quietly and quite literally rolling up his sleeve every chance he gets, reminding us that not all heroes make headlines—some just show up in a Choice One polo and make saving lives look like part of the daily routine.
Of course, Barney’s not in it for the glory. He’s in it for the granola bars, the occasional t-shirt, and the knowledge that he’s made a difference—600 times over. Thank you, Barney, for your dedication, your generous spirit, and your iron-rich veins. You’ve set the bar high—and the blood pressure just right.
