Employee Spotlight:

Matt Hull

Field Safety Advisor

"I was born in Sewickley PA, and raised in Aliquippa PA, just north of Pittsburgh. I started my career in safety when I joined the Air Force, and I spent 6 years of my time obtaining my knowledge and my degree in Safety, Health, and Environmental Applied Sciences from IUP in Indiana, Pennsylvania. When I'm not out in the field I spend my time with my Fiancé, Kaylee, and my Beagle, Indy, going on trips and adventures around local trails and state parks, as well as taking time to relax with a backyard picnic or family time at our home in Pittsburgh!"

2.    A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nothing with him and nowhere to hide. He came home soaking wet, but not a single hair on his head was wet. Why is that?


3.    Your parents have six sons, including you. Each son has one sister. How many people are in the family?


4.    How can a man who shaves several times a day still sport a long beard?
