FY17 WIU-QC Facilities Presentation3/28/2017

• The mission of WIU-Quad Cities Facilities is to maintain

and enhance the campus physical environment in

support of academic and other related functions of the university.

• To accomplish this mission staff sometime have to

wear many different hats

Security Staff

I wear my Yukon Alaskan Tracker hat because it is warm and cozy and

keeps my ears warm while I am on patrol and giving out parking

tickets.

John Stevian

My hat indicates family patriotism as my family has served this country

in every armed conflict since the civil war. My youngest is a fighter

pilot in the U.S. Air Force, at present serving in Korea. I am a Army

veteran of the Viet Nam war. This is the reason I wear the hat.

Bob Barlow

This hat is a constant reminder of all the 50 plus years of fond memories while riding

my Harley with my wife. The road trips with our friends . The feeling of complete

freedom from the open road. In addition the many Charity poker runs to support so

many great organizations and benefits.....

Mike Clifton

As security we wear many hats. And if you know my supervisor ( Bill

Brewer ) you know this to be true...... LOL! At work and at home, my

motto is "safety first".

Special Campus Assistance

Facilities Staff

My hat represents my love for basketball. Its from the 1998 NBA All-Star game,

which was the first All-Star game I watched on tv. Also, Michael Jordan's third

and final all star MVP award was in 1998 when he played for the Chicago Bulls,

which is where I was born. A fun fact….the old Utah Jazz jerseys were purple

which are the same as WIU

Kris Wesley

I‘m a big motorcycle enthusiast, but at heart I’m a Harley guy.

Nothing better than getting on my road glide and taking a ride

Tony Campagna

My hat is from my son's baseball team, where all my free time and

money go . I’ve been his biggest fan since he started. He's currently

in his senior year and they have earned a trip to Florida in April. I

guess my hat symbolizes being a proud dad

Terry Mitchell

I’m a life long Cub’s fan and listened/watched almost every regular season

game in 2016, certainly all in their successful playoff run. Anticipating another

Cubs championship this year. I also like the Texas Rangers and Minnesota

Twins (even though Kristi Mindrup likes them)

Michael Buller

Something people may not know about me is that I have two children. My first, Silas Sage, age

4 and my daughter, Harper Blu whose first birthday happens to be today, March 28th! I decided to start my family a bit later than most, at age 38. Working 3rd shift and having two

little ones is exhausting, so if you ever come across me in the early morning hours don't be

alarmed if I look shell - shocked or appear unresponsive. I am not suffering a stroke, just tired

and unaccustomed to the company of other adults.

Michelle Padilla

Alex is a senior studying Supply Chain Management. His outside

interests are running, frisbee golf, paintball and skeet shooting

Alex Lucas

Steve's interests include photography, graphic arts, hiking, canoeing

and outdoor activities. He has just acquired an internship with the

Corp of Engineers to assist with natural resource management and is

working towards completing both his bachelors and masters in RPTA.

Steve Acuff

The John Deere hat represents the most obvious tools, the JD tractors, that persons on

campus would notice as I utilize them to mow grass and remove snow. On a personal note,

my wife (Linda) and I enjoy target shooting together, which requires hearing protection. Too

often Linda shoots a higher score than me, as a consequence she makes me wear the pink

muffs for the next round. She knows how to motivate me."

Ralph Turner

This is my oldest fishing hat given to me 26 years ago by my brother-in-law. Since my

brother-in-law and my wife are both ISU grad’s I had to have one to get in the boat ,

we always try and go fishing at least once a year in Northern Minnesota. But my

favorite hat is by far the one in the next picture.

Joe Ackerman

My choice for the hat I wear at home is "YOUR BASIC HAT". This hat basically represents all of

the hats I wear at home. I am the sec/trea of a cemetery, support veterans, root for the

Mallards, take care of my new homestead of 4-5 acres, act as the family electrician, plumber

and general fixaller. I am a Son, Brother, Father, Grandfather, and now I also have the roll of

Mother and Grandmother to add to everything else....so just like at work, I wear many hats at

home also.

Honorary Facilities Hat Wearers

The Last Hat

I’m partial to wearing other’s hats. As an architect that opportunity

gives me insight and accountability to do quality design. The same

applies to assisting in managing the operations side of Facilities. Plus

it’s way too much fun.
