Employee Spotlight -Tony Crawford

11 April 2023 StephanieE Employee Spotlight
Hi, I am Tony, and I have worked at Red Wing Software since just before the Twins won their last World Series in 1991. My job is to write software and thereby keep QA busy. I strive to write code that somebody just out of college could understand, but I don’t succeed as often as I’d like. I also enjoy making sense of data, usually through reports. I like to read, travel, and write more code when I’m not working. My wife and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. During our married life, Red Wing Software allowed me to keep my job while we moved from Minnesota to London, New York, Amsterdam, and now beautiful Bucks County, PA. I collect old maps and useless facts about the origins of words, both of which do not lend themselves to engaging dinner conversation. After many years of being dilettantes, some friends and I are working on getting our sommelier certifications, partly as an excuse to try new wines but mainly as an excuse to go to Italy for the final test.

Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

I’ve heard it said that if you genuinely enjoy a job, you’ll never work a day in your life. I hope everyone reading this has the same problem I have: sometimes it’s difficult to remember I have a job, but if you enjoy your job as I do, it doesn’t seem like work.
Pam, my wife, who also works at Red Wing Software, and I recently “worked” at a trade show, representing Red Wing Software in a display booth. I don’t get to do this often, but the show was close to my home, so I was the logical choice, and I enjoyed the assignment. I always have the benefit of enjoying what I do and having a great team of professionals to work with, but I don’t often get to meet and talk with so many wonderful customers over a short period, which was the most rewarding part of this assignment.
I appreciated everyone who stopped by our display to say ‘hi’ and chat. It’s wonderful to hear the compliments about our support staff and how people use our software. Many customers who stopped by have been with us since the 1980s; others are relatively new to the products. While I always appreciate them as customers and the business they give us, they seem more like long-time friends.
I encourage you to look around and enjoy your job and choose never to work a day in your life.
