Meet Kelli Cruttenden - Project Manager

What piece of advice would you give your younger self?
Wear Sunscreen!

What is your favorite candy bar?
KitKat, Whatchamacalit Bars or Snickers. I can't choose!

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would definitely want to be able to fly!

What was your favorite subject in school?
History and Geography
​
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part is when things go according to plan. However, they rarely do, Ha! So, my second favorite part is adapting the plan to accommodate the curve balls this industry throws at you constantly. I like that often times seeing the finished product has a way of erasing the headaches you had to go through along the way.

What's one thing people don't know about you that they would be surprised to find out?
I've been a Formula 1 racing fan for over 20 years. I have attended the US Grand Prix when they were held in Indianapolis and have gone to the race weekend in Austin, Tx for the last 6 years. I record and watch every qualifying session and race without fail.

What job did you have in high school? or what was your first job?
I worked in a small-town local lumberyard drafting house plans for customers. This was prior to computers, so I drew everything by hand.

We hosted the FSN conference this week and have enjoyed learning and sharing ways to enhance and improve our services.
