In the Shoes of a Supply Chain Resident

Well this month, I decided to interview someone I know super well...my hubby, Mark.
He has been in the residency program through the AHS Corporate Office for the last six months, but before that, he worked at Shawnee Mission Medical Center from the ages of 15 to 22!

Mark graduated from Union College (where he met the girl of his dreams), but also attended Andrews University. He was initially attracted to AHS for employment because of the excellent job it has done being a successful and forward thinking company without losing the identity of being Seventh-day Adventist belief based. He enjoys working towards a vision and mission which aligns with his own personal values.

He describes a typical day in the life of a supply chain resident as being full of opportunities to learn the different functions of supply chain. Supply chain includes all purchasing, contracting, sterilization, delivery and other functions of a facility to "get the right product, to the right place, at the right time, for the right price." (Don't worry, I didn't know what it was either.) The best part of his job is working with excellent people. He describes his coworkers as "friendly and helpful".

Mark describes himself as laid-back, balanced and thoughtful. When he's not at work, he's being active. It doesn't really matter what he is doing as long as he is moving. He is especially happy if it involves a basketball, football, golfball, etc. He is working on his MBA, because he enjoys "getting his learn on".

Mark's biggest heroes are Michael Jordan, his grandma and me (loving sigh)! Michael Jordan because he is not only the greatest basketball player to ever live, but because he worked hard to be the best, Grandma because of her positive outlook despite her circumstances, and me, because of my unconditional and forgiving love (tear).

Mark says he still can't understand how or why the silk shirt ever went out of style. He is waiting on pins and needles for it to come back! (I really hope he's kidding)

Anyway, that's my guy! He's pretty awesome.
