Employee Spotlight: Will Hanson

Meet Will Hanson. Will is our Production Manager at Anthem Branding, and can create the best nickname for anyone at the office (even if he creates most of them for himself).

Q: What is your favorite part of your job?

A: Everyday is different. We work with a wide variety of vendors with an even wider variety of personalities. I enjoy collaborating with these production partners to solve unique challenges that we face each and every day.

Q: Who had the most influence over you?

A: There are far too many people in my life that have influenced me to just list one. Life lessons can come from anywhere if you are listening.

Q: What color best represents your personality and how does that color make you feel?

A: Slate Blue because it makes me feel cool, calm, and collected - which is the mindset I bring to tackle obstacles.

Q: How would you best friends or family describes you in three words?

A: Objective, jovial, and comedic.

Q: What is your favorite activity to do locally and why?

A: Colorado makes this choice impossible, but I can firmly state that the best day of my life involved skiing in the morning, playing golf in the afternoon, and fly fishing at dusk.

Q: What is your favorite local restaurant?

A: Brasserie Ten Ten solely based off their chicken and bacon waffles dish that includes pan roasted chicken, Tender Belly bacon, sweet butter & peach syrup. If you consider yourself a chicken and waffles aficionado, put this at the top of your list.

Q: Best concert you have ever attended?

A: Smash Mouth performed at Taste of Fort Collins in the summer of 2015. The crowd started to throw slices of bread everywhere, including on stage, and the lead singer lost his mind. He cursed, flipped them off, and threatened to fight audience members because I assume he is gluten-free. Once he calmed down and returned to the stage from storming off, he reluctantly "sang" their hit All Star. It was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Q: Favorite Netflix show to binge watch?

A: The Office...are there other shows on Netflix?

Q: Where's your favorite place in the world?

A: The Lost Creek Wilderness Loop. It's a super secret backpacking spot.

Fern Lake.

Q: Secret talent?

A: I have successfully flipped 8 eggs in one pan at the same time without using a spatula. Well, it was more like 7 and 3/4 eggs.
