Employee Spotlight - Ryan Palmer

24 July 2023 rpalm Employee Spotlight
Hi, my name is Ryan Palmer. I have been a Graphic Designer at Red Wing Software for 17 years. My responsibilities range from designing postcards and trade show booths, editing and publishing videos, administering the website, and doing front-end web development. In other words, I wear a lot of hats. I have two kids, Liam (10) and Maggie (8), with my wife Cori, the QA Analyst at Red Wing Software. During the warmer months, I love camping and mountain biking as a family, volunteering with the local mountain bike club, and working in the yard. In the winter, I like to slow down, and I spend my time inside cooking, playing video games, and working on small projects around the house. I frequently take on overly ambitious home improvement projects with completely made-up timelines (My favorite one is, “This should only take a month”). Prime examples: taking two years to renovate a kitchen only to sell the house six months after finishing it or redoing all the floors and trim in the house we just moved into, which I hopefully will finish sometime before my kids graduate high school.

Notes from the President

14 July 2023 khilton Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

This may sound a little strange at first, but I choose not to celebrate the 4th of July. However, I do celebrate Independence Day, which happens to be on July 4th.
We tend to recognize, observe, and celebrate dates rather than the events that made the dates important to us. Remember the special events that happened on a date and recognize why that date is significant.
These thoughts can carry into your business management, as well. Every day, week, month, and year we run various financial reports to track how our business is operating. We look at a Balance Sheet and get a snapshot of the financial health of our business, but do we dig into it and determine what caused the changes on this report? We run an Income Statement, P&L, Statement of Farming Activities, or Statement of Revenue and Expenditures (depending on your type of organization), but do we take the time to drill down and determine why the business is heading in the direction it is?
Every country and business has events and reports that they recognize and review at certain times of the year. Let us make it a point to remember why we are running these reports and the reason we are celebrating these dates.
Independence Day is also a great time to remember everyone who keeps us free and safe, especially in challenging times.
