It’s time for another Employee Spotlight.  This week the spotlight shines on Kelly Potts.  Kelly joined Supportive Insurance Services in 2009.  In her previous life, Kelly worked for Golden Rule Insurance for 15 years and the State of Illinois Department of Corrections for 3 years.  Kelly has been married to her husband Sean for 22 years and has two sons, Ryan and River.

Let’s learn a little bit more about Kelly…

What is your all-time favorite movie?  Gone with the Wind.  I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve seen it!

What type of music do you like to listen to?  I like it all…from Conway Twitty to Bob Seger to Aerosmith.

Any favorite sports teams?  I’m a St. Louis Cardinal & Pittsburg Steeler fan.  I believe I’m the only one in the office who isn’t a Colts fan, but the boss still lets me in the door!!

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?  A cashier at Kmart.  I was somewhat able to fulfill that dream as a cashier at the local grocery store in high school.

What’s your most memorable moment?  That a hard one because I have several, but I’m going with the day I married my best friend and soul mate of 22 years, Sean. 

What is your most embarrassing moment?  The summer between my 7th and 8th grade year I decided to go ‘blonde’…Sun-In plus dark brown hair = orange hair and I had to start my 8th grade year with this clown hair!!  Needless to say, I have NEVER lightened my hair myself again!!

What is your favorite thing about working at Supportive?  The flexibility I have!  With kids it is so nice to be able to adjust my schedule as needed!  Everyone here gets along and is like a second family.

Anything else we should know about you?  I was born and raised on a farm so I’m pretty much a redneck county girl. I much rather sit around a fire with friends and kids playing in the yard than just about anything else.
