A.I. 

Artificial Intelligence certainly has its place in our industry today. But this month, AI means something different. It means showing up for your teammates, your customers, and the challenge in front of you. It calls for “collective” intelligence. Department to department. Colleague to colleague. Human to human, Whatever it takes. AI stands for All. In. It's How We Roll.

Letter on the Third.

Dear Datamax Family,

Recently, while I was in Dallas/Fort Worth, I had the opportunity to walk through the warehouse and personally thank several members of our Service Team. They had stayed late and sacrificed their Saturday to help complete a large school district installation.

All Hands on 'Tech.'

When we say all, WE MEAN ALL!!

When a major installation called for extra hands, literally every single service/logistics employee raised their hand (wish we could have gotten them all in the picture!!). Multiple 12-hour days, two Saturdays, and a tight deadline to meet: Their positive response to the call defines what "All In" really looks like!

Lease Administrator, Saint Louis

Tell us about your family: I have been with my partner Chris for 19 years but never married.

We have two grand babies, Jacobs kids, Avery 8, and Mallory 5 and two dogs, Diesel and Dolly. Chris and I are both only children, but we have large extended families.

Hobbies: I do not really have any hobbies. I am a homebody but really anything outdoors near water or hanging with the Grandbabies. Chris and Boston are avid outdoors men, hunting, and fishing, so I go with them for deer season, sometimes I hunt, sometimes I do not. The older I get the more it makes me sad to kill them. They fish a lot at the LOZ and Table Rock so I will tag along sometimes.

When you're not at Datamax, what are you a Raving Fan of? Summer weekends at the Lake on the water getting a tan and relaxing. Also, like Kelly T, concerts are a huge fav. I love all types of music but anything that you can dance to is what I love. The Riverport (Hollywood Casino) outdoor amphitheater is my favorite large local venue. Eric Church live rocks every time. A few I have seen are Green Day, Pointfest with Rob Zombie, Heart, Joan Jett, and Avenged Sevenfold.
