BRO Staff Spotlight: Meet Cody
Each week we will spotlight one of our talented team members here at Blue Ridge Orthodontics. This week’s spotlight centers on a BRO team member based out of our Asheville location.
Spoiler Alert:
This team member had a stand-off with an unusual animal, he is very involved in his favorite sport, and he does so much behind the scenes to keep us on task. So, are you ready to check out what makes this team member so unique?
Everyone, Meet Cody!
Fun Fact about you:
I play on two soccer teams, one of which I’m the captain of. I’ve been doing this for about 8 years and have won 4 trophies. Soccer is very important to me. I love both playing and watching!
What is the most unusual or interesting thing you’ve ever done?
Not sure if this counts, but when I was at the Grand Canyon I got rushed by an adult elk. I saw what I thought was a mule deer and started to approach it in the wooded/brush area when out of nowhere, a huge elk started running at me (turns out the mule deer was a young elk that I am assuming was the child of the angry one). It stopped about 10 yards from me and started bellowing at me. I walked backwards, hands up, and it backed down. Gave me quite the scare though!
Tell us about your role at BRO:
I am the Human Resources Manager at BRO. I do a lot of behind the scenes work that includes, but is not limited to: payroll, schedule implementation, accounts payable, bank deposits, hiring, helping employees with any concerns, misc. office maintenance, etc. Human Resources wears many hats at small businesses!
What are 3 words you would use to describe BRO?
I would describe BRO as family, purpose, and an outlet to be authentic. I spend so much time with my coworkers, that I grow to care about them like I would my family. Given BRO’s charitable efforts, I feel as though I am working for a company with a purpose that goes beyond making profits. I love how much we give back. I chose outlet because I feel like I can really be myself and joke around with my coworkers. I love not having to put on a mask and pretend to be someone I’m not.
What is your favorite aspect about BRO?
I would say either my coworkers or our charitable efforts. It’s hard to decide between those. I thoroughly enjoy everyone I work with and how we all come together to create a fun work environment.
Where would we typically find you outside of BRO?
Outside of BRO, I am either at the gym, at home, or at the soccer field. I love to stay active and try to get in some form of activity every day.
In conclusion, we hope you loved learning more about Cody as much as we did! Keep an eye out for him around the office, and be on the lookout for our next staff spotlight next week!
