Aaron is the kind of person who's always willing to lend a hand, whether it's on a project, keeping the offices upright, or cooking a meal for family and friends. He enjoys working with his hands, solving problems, and finding ways to make life a little easier for the people around him. Aaron enjoys sharing life with his wife, Carly, and their daughter, Eleanor. You'll often find him tackling a project around the house, cheering on his favorite teams, or dreaming about one day attending the Daytona 500.

Abby rarely passes up an opportunity to be outside. Whether she's hiking a trail, spending the day on the water, or simply enjoying a walk, she brings the same positive energy to her free time that she brings to work. She loves sharing sunny days and new adventures with her husband, Steven, and their two children, Jack and Lane. For Abby, the best days are the ones spent outdoors with the people she loves.

Whether he's tackling a woodworking project, improving something around the house, or working on his golf game, Adam enjoys staying busy and creating things that last. He has a passion for hands-on projects and loves finding practical solutions to everyday challenges. Adam shares his love of projects and outdoor adventures with his wife, Meghan, their son, Cooper, and their black lab, Ollie. His ideal vacation includes a beach view and a pool close by because, while he wants to see the beach, he doesn’t necessarily want to touch it.

Adam appreciates the simple things in life, like a fishing pole, a deck of cards, and good company. He and his wife, Salem, are always ready for a competitive game of euchre and rarely pass up the chance to gather with family and friends. Adam is happiest near the water, cheering on the Bearcats, or enjoying an evening filled with good conversation and a little friendly competition.

Aaron has a knack for creating great outdoor spaces and finding reasons to enjoy them. When he's not at Choice One, he runs his own landscaping business, spends time golfing or fishing, and cheers on the Reds, Bengals, and Bearcats. Friends know they can count on him for a helping hand, good conversation, and probably a country music playlist. He can even juggle, though he's much more likely to be found outdoors than showing off his circus skills.

Allan has spent most of his life around twins. He has a twin brother, and his wife, Lauren, is a twin too, which makes it a wonder he hasn’t started seeing double. Along with their three children, Faye, Kip, and Boden, Allan stays busy cheering from the sidelines, tackling projects around the house, and enjoying time outdoors. Whether he's following the stock market or spending time with family, Allan is happiest when he has people to share it with.

Allen never pretends he wouldn't have been happy as a farmer. In fact, if engineering hadn't worked out, that's exactly what he says he would have done. Farming, gardening, and tackling projects outdoors remain some of his favorite ways to spend time. Allen and his family have made it a goal to experience as many national parks as possible, with Zion and Bryce Canyon among their favorite stops so far.

For Andy, a perfect day starts with a perfect weather forecast: 65 degrees, low humidity, and fall colors on the trees. He and his fiancée, Meg, enjoy filling their weekends with camping trips, kayaking adventures, and road trips to somewhere new. A fan of old records and unexpected hobbies, Andy once spent part of college building canoes out of concrete. He's always chasing the next project, the next adventure, or the next great album.

Andy believes most things can be figured out with a little patience and an "it'll work out in the end" attitude. When he's not supporting small communities’ infrastructure goals at Choice One, you'll likely find him working on the family farm, serving on the Miami County Soil and Water Conservation District Board, or spending time around a campfire with his wife, Jessica, and their five sons. Andy enjoys classic rock, Star Wars, and amusement parks, and he's known for putting hot sauce on his peanut butter.

Anna is a firm believer that any day can be improved with a campfire, a trip for ice cream, or time spent outdoors with family. Together with her husband, Kaden, their son, Maddox, and their two dogs, Kopper and Ardie, she enjoys making the most of life's little moments. Anna also helps with her husband's welding business, a role she describes as mostly providing the soundtrack and good company. Whether she's exploring the woods, going for a walk, or spending time with loved ones, Anna rarely passes up a chance to build memories with her family.

Fun fact: Brad’s initials are BMW, though he insists that's where the resemblance ends. Brad has a talent for bringing people together, usually with the help of a smoker, a backyard gathering, and plenty of good conversation. For him and his wife, Claire, their three children and family always comes first. Whether he's hosting friends, enjoying a walk, or gathering everyone around the smoker, Brad believes the best gatherings usually involve good food, good people, and plenty of time to enjoy both.

If there's a scoreboard, a standings sheet, or a chance to improve something, Brad is all in. From managing fantasy sports teams to tackling landscaping projects and planning outdoor adventures, he loves a good challenge. For Brad, some of the best weekends are spent outdoors with his wife, Nicole, and their children. Whether he's cheering on the Buckeyes, Bengals, or Reds, he's always ready for what's next.

Brian believes a recipe is just the starting point. Whether he's cooking in the kitchen or solving challenges at Choice One, he's always looking for ways to make a good idea even better. Outside of work, he enjoys tending fruit trees and blackberry plants and spending time with his wife, Chris, and their four children, Carly, Danielle, Bryce, and Lillian. Known for always having an answer, or finding one, Brian brings the same curiosity and personal touch to everything he does.

Brian wears a lot of hats, including engineer, volunteer firefighter, grill master, and proud sports dad. Together with his wife, Jenny, and their children, Cole, Toby, and Jaci, he spends much of his free time supporting youth sports and making memories with family. Whether he's helping his community, planning the next backyard cookout, or looking for inspiration from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Brian is always ready to jump in and help.

Brian likes having a plan, but he's always ready for a little fun, too. He lives on the west side of Cincinnati with his wife, Marielle, and their three children, Caden, Maddalena, and Ellianna. Between coaching, volunteering at school, and family game nights, he stays plenty busy outside of work. Known for his thorough approach and willingness to help others, Brian also happens to be able to fold his ear inside itself and may have a need for speed when he's behind the wheel.

Brittany enjoys finding order in the chaos, whether she's organizing a project, capturing memories through photography, or connecting great people with meaningful career opportunities. Outside of work, she loves antiquing, listening to true crime podcasts, gathering around a campfire with friends, and volunteering in her community. Her favorite role, however, is being a wife and mom. She and her husband, Mark, are proud parents to Hudson and Logyn, who keep their hearts full and their calendar busy.

Some people spend their weekends relaxing. Caleb prefers hunting trips, backpacking adventures, and tackling construction projects. Known to family and friends as "Porkchop," he's always ready to try something new, especially if it involves the outdoors. Caleb shares his adventures with his wife, Hannah, and their mini Bernedoodle, Bailey, whose personality is much bigger than her size. His adventurous spirit is one reason he thinks being a rancher or bull rider would have been a pretty good backup plan to surveying.

Caleb happens to be known for both his collegiate bowling legacy and strong opinions on food. A former collegiate bowler, he once rolled a sanctioned 300 game and still enjoys a little friendly competition. Family time often includes his parents, Amanda and Matthew, his siblings Savannah and Israel, and his cat, P.J. Whether they're grilling, traveling, or relaxing on the patio, there's usually plenty of good conversation, and probably a debate about food.

Flowers, family, and books are a few of Caray's favorite things. She and her husband, Rogell, are proud parents of five children and grandparents to two granddaughters. Whether she's spending time at the pond, cooking out, playing games, or cheering on the Buckeyes and Bengals, Caray brings enthusiasm to everything she does. In fact, when asked to share her favorite book series, she answered "Outlander" followed by 17 exclamation points, which tells you just about everything you need to know.

Casey believes life is better with a good book, a great cup of coffee, and a walk to the ice cream shop. She and her husband, Brian, enjoy keeping up with their three children, Urban, Collette, and Marshall, and all the adventures that come with them. Casey is known for her love of historical fiction, her surprising knowledge of the British royal family, and her willingness to embrace her role as a recovering engineer. If wedding gown design had been in the cards, she might have pursued that instead, but she's found her favorite role in connecting with people.

Chris doesn't do hobbies halfway. His love of tennis goes far beyond the court. He's a devoted Novak Djokovic fan and hopes to one day attend all four Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Chris shares his adventures with his girlfriend, Rheanna, and their toy Aussie, Theo. Whether he's heading out for a long bike ride, perfecting a new recipe, or surprisingly dominating a game of left-handed ping pong, Chris is always looking for the next challenge to tackle.

Chuck has spent nearly four decades exploring the outdoors, meeting interesting people, and seeing places most people never get the chance to visit as a Professional Surveyor. Alongside his wife, Jenny, and their black lab mix, Addey, he enjoys camping, hiking, canoeing, and spending time on the water. A lifelong surveyor and avid photographer, Chuck loves capturing the people and places he encounters along the way. Whether he's woodworking, planning his next national park adventure, or spotting something no one else noticed with his remarkably keen sense of smell, Chuck is always paying attention to the details.

Being a Browns fan from Pittsburgh has never bothered Connor. In fact, he seems to enjoy keeping people on their toes. Alongside his fiancée, Kelsey, and their golden retriever, George, he spends his free time exploring the outdoors, woodworking, and planning trips to new places. Connor is also on a mission to visit every Major League Baseball stadium and has earned a reputation for putting away more Skyline cheese coneys than anyone else at Choice One.

Craig “Frizzle” Frilling is happiest when he's got a project to tackle, a hunting spot to explore, or a plate of chicken to enjoy. Outside of Choice One, he spends his time farming, hunting, working around the house, and serving at the firehouse. Known for his outgoing personality and ability to make people laugh, Craig is quick to share one opinion he considers a fact: he and his dad make the best chicken around.

Dakota has a hard time sitting still when there's a game to play, a match to watch, or a team to cheer for. Outside of Choice One, he enjoys playing volleyball, cheering on the Bengals and Buckeyes, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Annie, and their two golden retrievers, Duke and Riley. Dakota is also a firm believer in sticking with what works, which may explain how he manages to consistently eat Chipotle five times a week.

Dan enjoys the kind of work where you can step back at the end of the day and see what you've accomplished. Outside of Choice One, he's often woodworking, tackling projects around the house, or spending time with his wife, Rachel, and their two sons, Murray and Christian.

Somewhere between mastering the art of planning perfect Disney World vacations and roundabouts, Dane discovered that helping people get where they're going is kind of his thing. He cheers just as loudly for Cleveland sports as he does for a well-designed traffic circle, and both topics are likely to get him talking. Dane and his wife, Heather, stay busy keeping up with their five children, Isaiah, Marilyn, Tatum, Trey, and Jaden. When they're not attending youth sports or dance competitions, you'll likely find them watching movies, playing games, or spending time with extended family.

Daniel likes to be prepared. He usually knows the weather forecast, packs his lunch for the day, and somehow still ends up joining coworkers for lunch instead. He enjoys discovering new restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and bourbons, and spending time outdoors with his two dogs. A Browns and Guardians fan with a healthy sense of humor about both teams, Daniel is happiest around good food, good company, and a little fresh air. Someday, he'd love to build the family compound he's already imagined in his head.

David's weekends often revolve around soccer. After more than 13 years on the same adult soccer team, his love for the game is as strong as ever. Whether he's playing, watching Tottenham, or kicking a ball around with his family, soccer has a way of finding its way into the day. Alongside his wife and two children, David enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, and enjoying simple traditions like Saturday morning pancakes.

Baseball has been a big part of Derek's life for as long as he can remember. Whether he's coaching, playing in a local softball league, or catching a game, he rarely passes up an opportunity to be around the sport. He and his fiancée, Dani, enjoy camping, hiking, and tackling woodworking projects together. After recently purchasing their first home, Derek is already working toward another goal: building the forever home he someday hopes to call his own.

Derek believes some of life’s best moments start with a little curiosity. He and his wife, Jenna, love both big and small adventures, whether it's trying a new restaurant, seeing a new movie, or traveling to places like Italy and Barbados. Known for being both considerate and creative, Derek enjoys evening walks, board games, and occasionally jamming on the acoustic guitar. For Derek, the best adventures are the ones that leave behind great stories, full photo albums, and memories worth revisiting for years to come.

If it has an engine or a beat, Dylan is probably interested in it. He spends much of his free time working on cars, boats, and motorcycles, and the rest playing guitar, bass, or drums. Known for his luscious locks and dry sense of humor, Dylan never takes life too seriously and is always ready with a well-timed joke. A loyal Bengals fan and lover of classic rock, he's happiest with a good project to work on and his next motorcycle adventure on the horizon.

Elizabeth has a way with words, which comes in handy when you're the designated "word person" at an engineering firm. A lifelong lover of stories, she enjoys everything from fantasy novels to video games and can happily spend an afternoon discussing dragons, hobbits, and far-off adventures. Outside of work, Elizabeth shares life with her husband, Ethan, and their two dogs, Daisy and Smokey. When she's not writing, you'll likely find her at a local coffee shop, tending her garden, or putting her years of classical training on the piano, flute, or voice to good use.

Ellen can think of very few things better than a sunny fall day, a round of golf, a kayak on the water, and an evening at Kings Island. She has a knack for finding fun wherever she goes, whether that's line dancing with friends, hunting for bargains, or planning her next adventure. While she may seem sweet and unsuspecting at first, Ellen is surprisingly mischievous and loves pulling off a successful prank. Equal parts adventurer and homebody, she enjoys roller coasters just as much as a cozy evening watching Gilmore Girls with a good slice of pizza.

Some people collect baseball cards or stamps. Eric collects trophies from competitive plowing. As a devoted antique tractor enthusiast, he can happily spend far longer discussing tractors than most people expect. A volunteer firefighter and the 2025 National Champion in Antique Plowing, he spends much of his free time outdoors, whether that's camping, flying drones, or working on his next project. Eric shares life's adventures with his wife, Manda, and their four children, Owen, Nora, Liv, and Colt.

Before she does anything, Hannah needs a latte. After that, she's game for just about anything. As one of eight siblings, she's no stranger to a busy household, which comes in handy while keeping up with her husband, Luke, and their son, Will. Her dream alternate career? If she hadn't found her way to HR, she'd happily trade her desk for a camera and a career as a National Geographic photographer.

Most people learn to swim as kids. But Isaiah? He taught himself so he could complete a Half Ironman. He has a habit of seeking out challenges, whether that's heading out on a six-night solo trip through Minnesota's Boundary Waters or working toward a bucket-list hunt in Alaska. Fishing, running, and biking keep him busy, but some of his favorite moments are spent at the family pond with his mom, sisters, and nephews. He can even play the violin, proving the outdoors aren't his only talent.

Jack has a knack for turning hobbies into challenges. Whether he's working through a Rubik's Cube faster than Troy Niese, improving his golf game, or checking another country off his European travel wish list, he's always looking for ways to learn something new. Friends and coworkers know him for his positive attitude and strong work ethic, while his ideal weekend includes good weather, a lake, and plenty of time with family and friends. If you can't find Jack, there's a good chance he's engrossed in a new book or is already planning his next European vacation.

Jacqueline is happiest in the woods. Give her a trail, a kayak, a dirt bike, or a quiet spot in the mountains, and she's right at home. Together with her husband, Scott, and their five children, she embraces life on the farm and rarely misses an opportunity to get outdoors. A lifelong learner, Jacqueline has taught herself Spanish, plays the piano, and is always looking for a new hobby to explore. Her dream job outside of engineering would be managing trails for the Forest Service, which feels like a natural fit for someone who's always felt at home among the trees.

Jake enjoys learning about the world from all kinds of perspectives. From drawing and disc golf to theology, history, and The Lord of the Rings, his interests tend to take him in plenty of different directions. He values time with family, looks forward to traveling to new places, and is always open to trying something new. Jake also prefers his bananas green, a fact that generates far more debate than it probably should.

Jake is known for two things: finding the perfect meme and saying whatever ridiculous thing happens to pop into his head. When he's not at Choice One, you'll likely find him golfing, skiing, watching Notre Dame football, or heading to a concert with his wife, Kate. Jake and Kate enjoy spending time with their three kids, Noah, Cam, and Brooks, whether that's playing outside, going to the park, or making an ice cream run. His quick wit and sense of humor ensure there's rarely a dull moment when he's around.

Jake was born bleeding scarlet and gray, so becoming an Ohio State fan was pretty much inevitable. His perfect Saturday would actually be a Sunday so he could spend time tailgating before a Bengals game. Between coaching basketball and following just about every sport imaginable, Jake is rarely far from a game or a scoreboard. He also happens to be a self-proclaimed Mountain Dew sommelier who has sampled every flavor ever made and can identify them with alarming accuracy.

Jeff has a few favorite ways to spend a sunny day, and most of them involve a golf course or a boat. He and his wife, Nicole, enjoy relaxing on the water with good music and good company. Before engineering, Jeff spent plenty of time riding and training horses, a skill that still surprises some people today. He'd happily become a pilot if it meant easier access to new golf courses. And despite what the office rumor mill may suggest, Jeff would like everyone to know that he did, in fact, bring in donuts one time.

Jeff “Shorty” North has spent more than three decades doing what he loves. Since joining Choice One in 1995, he has built a reputation for his expertise in topographic surveying and appreciation for the work itself. Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, shooting, and exploring his interest in history. If he hadn't found surveying, he likely would have become a game warden. He still hopes to one day ride in a World War II fighter plane, combining two lifelong interests: history and the outdoors. Above all, Jeff is grateful to spend his days doing work he truly enjoys.

Jeff likes to joke that he's known as the old expert around the office. In reality, he might be better known as the person in the office before most people have poured their first cup of coffee. Turns out growing up on the farm has a way of encouraging early mornings. Alongside his wife, Becky, Jeff enjoys farming, attending Country Concert in Ft. Loramie, and keeping busy outdoors. He also claims he's never been to Walmart, a fact that somehow surprises people almost as much as his decades of engineering experience.

When asked what he'd do if he weren't an engineer, Jim's answer says a lot about who he is: "Boy, if I wasn't an engineer, I'm not sure what I would be!" Engineering has been part of his life for so long that it's hard to imagine anything else. If retirement ever comes calling, though, he can picture himself working with his hands as a handyman, fixing things and helping people wherever needed. Jim and his wife, Amy, love exploring the outdoors and have fallen in love with the mountains, canyons, and wide-open spaces of Utah.

Jim has never been afraid to follow his curiosity. Before becoming a surveyor, he earned degrees in both accounting-economics and marine biology-geology, proving an interest in everything from balance sheets to coral reefs. Outside of Choice One, he enjoys reading, gaming, and exploring whatever topic has captured his attention next. Jim is known for bringing plenty of energy to the office, along with a strong appreciation for family, friends, food, and a well-earned donut.

Justin is always up for a good conversation, whether it's about sports, current events, or whatever happens to be making headlines that day. A self-described hard worker who enjoys helping others, he brings the same energy to life outside of work. Justin enjoys staying active, spending time with family and friends, and keeping up with Ohio State and the Indianapolis Colts. He also shares plenty of adventures with Reese, his black lab-beagle mix, and would love to learn guitar, but for now he'll stick to talking sports.

Justin has a reputation for showing up early, working hard, and refusing to upgrade his iPhone. In fact, he's still proudly using one with a home button. Life on the family farm keeps him busy caring for cattle and working in the fields, especially during harvest season. Around the office, he's known for being quick with a joke and always willing to help. He's also the kind of person who answered a request for a “fun fact” to include in his bio with a statistic about pre-famine Irish potato consumption, which probably tells you everything you need to know.

Yes. Kari genuinely enjoys branding things green. At this point, it's less of a preference and more of a personality trait. As Choice One's graphic designer, she loves bringing ideas to life through design, creativity, and attention to detail. Kari, her husband Jarrett, and daughter Kaye love exploring new places and trying new experiences together. If she'd chosen a different career path, she would have happily combined her passion for design and sports by creating graphics for a professional football team.

Kaye never met a trip she didn't want to take. Whether it's a concert, a road trip, or dreams of Arctic dogsledding adventures, she's always eager to see somewhere new. She and her husband, Neil, share their home with horses Pickles and Red, their dog Bonnie, and two adorable mini donkeys, Roxy and Lyla. As Choice One's funding specialist, Kaye has an uncanny ability to dispense random pieces of Choice One lore on command. She's also remarkably fast at a crab walk, a talent that's far less useful than her travel recommendations but considerably more entertaining.

Kendra can talk to a doorknob about rugby, and if you've met her, you know that's probably not an exaggeration. After more than a decade playing the sport, rugby has taken her all over the place and introduced her to lifelong friendships. These days, she puts her people skills to work in business development, though she says that in an alternate life she would have pursued engineering. Away from the pitch, Kendra likes to travel, try new hobbies, and spend time with her girlfriend, Haley, dog, Ellie, and cat, Mac.

Kole believes most problems can be solved with a little hard work and the right toolbox. A former plumber and lifelong tinkerer, he enjoys figuring out how things work almost as much as he enjoys taking them apart. When he's not off-roading, camping, or lending a helping hand, there's a good chance he's talking about Chevrolet trucks, a topic he never seems to run out of opinions on. Kole shares life's adventures with his wife, Hailey, daughter, and black lab, Indy, and is always ready for the next trip into the great outdoors.

Kristi's idea of a great evening involves family, good food, and a few board games, not a crowded night on the town. That's probably why she still thinks the family compound she and her siblings have been discussing for years is a perfectly reasonable life goal. She and her husband, Kurt, enjoy camping, traveling, and spending time with family. Kristi also has a simple vacation philosophy. Alternate between relaxing beach trips and adventurous national park vacations, and you'll never have to worry about missing out.

Kyle never does anything halfway, especially when it comes to family, The Lord of the Rings, or a good joke. He and his wife, Jill, love spending time with their children, Gideon, Elodie, and Ezra, and hope to one day return to New Zealand to revisit the landscapes that brought Middle Earth to life. Kyle is known for his enthusiasm and willingness to laugh at himself. After submitting a perfectly normal employee bio survey, he followed it up with one dedicated entirely to potatoes. As both Kyle and Tolkien said, "PO-TA-TOES! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!”

Lexy proudly admits she's a little random. One minute she might be talking about horses, the next quail, and somehow the conversation could still end with a discussion about Mothman. She and her husband, Dave, stay busy with their son, a small farm's worth of animals, and plenty of time outdoors. A self-proclaimed CAD queen, Lexy has been part of the Choice One team since she was 17 years old. She also happens to be a devoted Outlander fan, though that's probably less surprising than the fact that she knows an awful lot about quail.

Long before becoming an engineer, Luke spent some time behind a drum kit in a rock band and later behind a microphone as a bar trivia host. These days, life looks a little different. Luke and his wife, Katelin, stay busy keeping up with Carly, Harper, Carter, and twins Ella and Jude. Board games, family movie nights, travel, and discovering new places fill much of their free time. Known for being laid back and easy to talk to, Luke rarely seems rattled by much, which comes in handy when you're raising five kids.

Matt's coworkers know two things about him. First, he somehow functions without coffee, a fact he never misses the chance to mention. Second, if you get him talking about traffic engineering, the conversation may last longer than you planned. When he's not at work, Matt stays busy coaching his kids’ baseball and softball teams, working on projects around the house, and spending time outdoors with his wife, Amanda, and their five children, Cora, Molly, Ethan, Simon, and Eva. He also enjoys cooking, a hobby that tends to make him pretty popular at dinnertime

Matt rarely sits still for long. Between serving with the St. Henry Volunteer Fire Department, keeping up with his wife, Patty, and their children, Tate, Quinn, and Darby, and finding time for fishing, hiking, or kayaking, there's usually something keeping him busy. Matt has a knack for figuring out how things work and enjoys tinkering with anything mechanical. Friends also know him as the guy who loves firing up the grill or smoker and bringing people together over good food. If he ever masters the guitar, there's a good chance a campfire won't be far behind.

Matthew isn't interested in knowing everything. In fact, he'd rather keep learning. Whether he's exploring a new hobby, tackling a project, or heading to an antique tractor show, he enjoys the challenge of figuring things out along the way. When he's not at Choice One, you'll likely find him hunting, fishing, camping, or spending time with his wife, Taylor, and their three children, Evie, Ella, and Brooks. A self-described jack of trades, Matthew is always eager to try something new and usually has a story or conversation ready to go.

Whether he's golfing, watching UFC, testing his luck at the poker table, or planning a trip somewhere new, Max is always looking for a good time and good company. He and his girlfriend, Suzanna, love discovering local hidden gems while traveling and share their home with Floyd the dog and Weewee the cat. If engineering hadn't worked out, there's a good chance Max would be captaining a yacht somewhere instead, which honestly doesn't seem all that surprising.

Max isn’t the type to turn down a friendly competition or a bit of fun. Golf, Bengals football, and family adventures all rank high on his list of interests, and he once completed a marathon just to prove he could. When he's not watching The Office or planning his next trip, he's usually looking for a new place to explore. Since becoming a father, Max has become familiar with far more Taylor Swift songs than he ever expected.

Megan has a gift for finding joy in other people's excitement. One of her favorite things is rewatching movies and shows with her daughters, Drew and Ryann, and seeing them experience the surprises and favorite moments for the first time, even if she’s already seen them before. She and her husband, Andy, stay busy supporting whatever adventures their girls are interested in, from activities and events to new hobbies and experiences. Megan once appeared on Let's Make a Deal and believes life is best spent making people smile.

Michael enjoys staying busy and rarely sits still for long. Whether he's working on a home renovation project, spending time at the lake with family, or crossing another task off the list, he appreciates a productive day. He and his wife, Jacqui, have two daughters and two dogs, Gracie and Goose, who help keep life interesting. If engineering hadn't worked out, Michael could have seen himself pursuing carpentry or financial analysis. He's also hoping to someday play in the World Series of Poker Main Event, adding another challenge to an already busy agenda.

Michael may be an engineer at Choice One, but farming is never far from his mind. When he's not working, there's a good chance he's out on the farm, hunting, four-wheeling, or tackling whatever needs done next. He enjoys spending time around a campfire with his wife, Andrea, and their children, Carter, Madison, Corinn, and Blake, and appreciates the satisfaction of a productive day outdoors. If engineering hadn't worked out, Michael says he would have pursued a career in excavation, proving he's always been drawn to building, moving, and creating things.

Michael enjoys finding things worth recommending. That might be a hidden-gem restaurant, a new travel destination, or the latest addition to his sneaker collection. He loves exploring new places with his family and is always up for discovering something new, whether that's a nearby attraction, a local favorite, or an overlooked destination. Outside of work, Michael enjoys staying active, golfing, and spending time outdoors. If engineering hadn't worked out, there's a good chance he would have found himself in financial planning, helping others prepare for the future while debating the merits of Chipotle along the way.

Mitch is the first to admit that being a Browns fan is painful. For reasons he's still trying to understand, he keeps coming back anyway. Known for walking at a pace that leaves most people behind, Mitch spends his free time coaching youth sports, golfing, traveling, and following Cleveland teams. He and his wife, Kate, stay busy with Wes, Drew, Austin, and Stella. While he once had the talent to catch 16 quarters tossed from his elbow into one hand, these days he's just happy if he catches his phone before it hits the floor.

Na is always looking for a new perspective. Photography and photo editing give her the chance to capture landscapes, memorable moments, and not so occasionally her puppy, Lilly Pad. As one of Choice One's landscape architects, she brings that same appreciation for beautiful places into her work. Na loves trying new things, dreams of visiting Venice and re-visiting China someday, and says she'd become a pilot in a heartbeat if the opportunity came along.

Since 2005, Nick Sanders has been one of our professional engineers whose forte is designing site plans, railroads, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (he is a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control, after all). He is also knowledgeable with site plan LEED requirements, bio-retention ponds, bio-swales etc., for those seeking to “go green.” Nick graduated from ONU and continues the ONU Polar Bear tradition, and rarely wears a coat in the dead of winter. Nick loves spending time with his 8 children and grandchildren. In fact, his grandchildren think of him as their own personal “jungle gym,” and his children often remark how he really comes to see his grandkids and that they, his children, are just a fringe benefit. Nick is also is very devoted to his church and loves serving and volunteering in its various organizations, and visiting and helping others. He is a fan of most sports (watching more than playing) with his favorite team being THE Ohio State Buckeyes.

For Nick, March Madness isn't just a tournament. It's practically a holiday. When he's not following college basketball, there's a good chance he's on a golf course, watching a game, or finding another excuse to spend time with friends. Nick describes himself as someone who's always down for anything, which probably explains why he's rarely short on plans. One item still sitting on his bucket list is playing a world-famous golf course, preferably one with a good view and a memorable final hole.

Nick insists he's not much of an athlete, yet somehow manages to hit a golf ball more than 300 yards. Golf, good conversation, and a little friendly competition rank high on his list of favorite things, and he's rarely met a person he couldn’t strike up a conversation with. Nick and his wife, Brittany, stay busy keeping up with their children Micah, Jonah, Norah, and Lizah.
