Introducing Our Third Party Team Lead

We are pleased to introduce Daniel Gibbs, our Third Party Biller and Team Lead. He brings creativity, a zen calmness, and humor to our team. Please read his story, as written by him, below:

CASE FILE #7, TOP SECRET - Daniel Gibbs
 

From birth to age 15 Daniel was raised in the wilds of Wyoming by a pack of wolves. He grew to become their alpha and pack leader, learning to communicate via a system of howling and grunts. At age 15 he left his wolf family and headed for Texas, spurred on by his drive to compete in professional eating competitions. At age 17 he joined a traveling circus and performed as a strongman under the stage name "Thock the Barbarian." After spending 3 years traveling the country, he left the circus and resumed his journey to Texas. On his 21st birthday he awoke to find that he had grown a beard overnight. That day he found a wild mustang and broke the steed, fashioning a saddle from tree bark and his own hair, and rode for 30 days until he arrived in Fort Worth. After acclimating to his new city life, he took on a job offer from Dallas Life Support Systems with practically no real world experience and conquered his new profession. Within 9 months he had been promoted to Team Lead of the 3rd party billing department, further cementing his role as pack leader. In the evenings and on weekends Daniel takes to the streets, dealing out vigilante justice to criminals. Since his arrival in Texas, crime rates have plummeted 33%. Some say that if you listen closely at night, you can hear him howling to his wolf pack, instilling fear in those who may seek to commit unscrupulous activities.



Throughout the course of our leadership program I have taught the others involved the following things: 1.) Never trust a man who won't look you in the eye, 2.) Always be prepared to fight a bear to the death, and 3.) Do not throw watermelon at others. I have learned to disregard all emotion and rule with an iron fist.
 
As you may have figured by now only some of those things are true. What I've really learned is to always lead by example, never approach an obstacle with a negative attitude and to take an interest in those around you. Building a strong connection with your team allows everyone to work much more closely and be pre-disposed to want to pitch in and help whenever an issue may arise.
 
Personal mission statement: I strongly believe that I should always be a better person than I was the day before, whether that means to learn something new, do something better or be stronger mentally or physically. I try my best to put others needs before my own both in my personal and professional lives. In life, my ultimate goal is just to be a good person despite what others may think.
 
About me: I'm engaged to my closest friend and a truly wonderful woman. We have a Great Dane named Jax who spends his days laying around doing approximately nothing whom we love as if he were our child.
 
Interests: I love exercising and lifting weights, hiking and spending time outdoors, playing the occasional video game, spending time with my friends and family and making others laugh.
 

Motto: What you do when no one is looking defines you as a person.
