Meet Paul Krause, Collections Manager with NACMBCS. Let's get to know Paul a little better:
๐งญWhere are you from, originally? Seattle, WA born and raised.
โณHow long have you been with NACMBCS? A fulfilling 18 years so far.
๐What's your favorite thing about your job? The staff at NACM is fun to be around and easy to work with. I also enjoy helping and educating both the members and clients of NACM to become better at their jobs.
๐What's your biggest pet peeve? People who show a lack of gratitude and don't say thank you to others.
๐ฆWhat's your favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate Peanut Butter, yum!
๐คWhat's one thing most people don't know about you? Two things actually. First, I have an older brother who lives in Boston, and he set the world record in the one-mile swim in 1966, then got to meet Princess Grace and Prince Rainier on a US Swim team trip to Monaco on his 16th birthday. Secondly, my first job after college was as a Special Education teacher in Ephrata, WA.
