We asked Jed
What do you do at Kicksite:
I work within the Success and Support team, as a Customer Success Specialist, assisting customers with questions and issues. In addition, I conduct new school training as well as ongoing training and account management for existing schools.
Name 3 things I can’t live without:
- Faith
- Family
- Mexican Food
Where is my favorite place in the world:
I haven’t really been too many places, but my favorite place is where my family and I go every summer, which is to the Colorado Mountains for all the beauty, food and adventure!
What is my favorite family tradition:
We do have so many, but it has to be going to the lights and firework display the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, then waking up the next morning to homemade cinnamon rolls & krispies, going to the turkey trot 5K walk/run, then coming home to clean up and watch the parade before the big feast.
Favorite moment working with a martial arts owner:
It’s actually more several moments – It’s when we are almost done with a first training with a school and they are so surprised with how much the software does and how easy it is, and then they tell me how appreciative they are for the program and that we took the time to help them. It’s knowing that I have helped someone become much more effective and efficient, either getting them some time back to relax or time to take care of other things.
