Mary Ellen's Second Post

As the Post Production Producer, Corby oversees all different editors, motion graphic animators, audio engineers, production assistants and many others involved in creating different commercials and advertisements. After talking to him about his immense responsibilities, it is very easy to see how needed he is at his job. When I asked him about the stress of work, he responded with, "The most important thing to remember is to always stay calmer than those around you." While he said this with laughter in his voice, it is easy to understand why he must remind himself to stay calm in all stressful situations at work. With clients such as S.C. Johnson, CDW, Kimberley Clark, and the Chicago Blackhawks, there isn't any room for mistakes or lack of effort. Plus, overseeing so many different people puts a lot of responsibility on Corby to not only perform at the highest level, but keep those around him working as efficiently as possible.

What is most remarkable to me is Corby's ability to live out a Christian lifestyle while working at one of the top marketing agencies in America. It is easy to get swept up in the madness of agency life, but Corby seems to keep a balance through all the long days and tight deadlines. I think it says a lot about a person with how well they are able to stay committed to their families and responsibilities after they leave the office. Not only do I respect him so highly for how much time and energy he dedicates to his job, but I am so proud to call him my brother in law because he is a man of character. Whether its a stranger on the street, or a friend he's known all of his life, Corby interacts with everyone with such genuine interest, care and always, always, with a smile. I believe that's the way that life is meant to be lived out.
