Q & A with Adam
Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised in Owen County but currently reside in Sparta, KY. My wife Bridget and I have been married for 22 years and have five daughters together. God blessed us with Abigail Marie (19), Isabella McKenna (17), Alexis Rylee (15), Madison Claire (13), and Brianna Elise (7).
How long have you been with Broadlinc?
I have been with Broadlinc for 2 years.
What brought you to the company?
In January 2020, the company I worked for closed its doors, and I was unemployed for nine months. It was hard to find a job, especially with the COVID pandemic. However, I saw an opening for a Customer Support Representative at Broadlinc and applied and got the job.
What do you like most about being a Technical Support Specialist?
I have worked in some form of technical support for almost 25 years. I like that you start with a problem and then get a chance to solve it. Then, when the customer is happy, that’s the best result!
How would you describe the culture at Broadlinc?
Broadlinc has a family-oriented atmosphere! The President, VP of Operations, Tech Support Manager, and all the staff are very supportive.
What do you like most about working at Broadlinc?
I like how a small, locally owned company has a chance to expand into something that rivals large corporate internet service providers.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I’m laughing because there really isn’t any spare time. I work on-call or spend time with my wife and girls, usually at their soccer games. So we are constantly on the run.
How would your family or friends describe you in three words?
Dedicated, selfless, and family-oriented.
Tell us something most people would be surprised to learn about you.
In 1989, I drowned at Elk Lake and was dead for eight minutes! In 1991, I had brain surgery for viral encephalitis. Lastly, in 2021, I had emergency surgery to treat an infection from flesh-eating bacteria. So I like to go big or go home. Some might say I’m like a cat with nine lives, and I have definitely used up a few.
If you can have an unlimited supply of one thing, what would it be and why?
An unlimited supply of energy to keep up with my wife and girls.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Be kind, always!
