Maybe you should practice.
One thing people don’t know about you?
Contrary to belief, Fuse3 Solutions wasn’t an elaborate plan that was thought-out over a long-term period. I took a leap of faith, Adam and I made some great hires and, luckily, we had some early success that propelled us to where we are today.

What’s the most unexpectedly wonderful compliment anyone has ever paid you?
“You’re seriously such a good daddy” – compliments of my beautiful wife, May 29, 2019
Favorite quote?
“Do Your Best in Everything You Do” -It’s a simple quote, but a trait that my parents taught me at an early age. It didn’t matter if it was schoolwork, playing a sport, or something as simple as sweeping a sidewalk, always giving my all has proven beneficial. And, when I fail I have no regrets knowing I gave 100%.
Favorite day of the year:
Christmas. July 4th is a close second.
If a movie were made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?
Family Comedy – Chris Pratt

What’s something on your bucket list?
Travel Europe. I was born in Germany and lived there as a child (Military brat). I have always wanted to go back and visit the areas where we lived.
Favorite quote?
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
This quote is so true in personal life and especially in the recruiting business. Everybody wants to feel valued and appreciated. How easy is it to smile and say something nice to somebody? You never know how that could change their day/life.

My movie would definitely be a comedy. Maybe a romantic comedy. And I would be honored if Jack Black would play as me.
Danielle Campbell
Senior Recruiter and Business Development Manager, Finance and AccountingHometown: Yukon, OK
Education: Bachelor’s in Organizational & Strategic Communications from UCO
What’s the most unexpectedly wonderful compliment anyone has ever paid you?
I had a teacher in high school tell me that I was an “acquired taste, that’s a good thing”, meaning I have a big personality and not everyone is going to love me initially, but it leaves more for those that do. This is something I’ve carried with me since I was a teenager. The older you get, you realize that you might not be for everyone, as everyone isn’t for you, but you learn to love yourself for who you are, no matter what anyone else thinks!
Favorite quote?
One of my favorites is: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Though this is a well-known quote, it’s one that was very common in my house growing up. Anytime we failed at anything, my dad would repeat this to us over and over. As you become an adult and learn to navigate your life personally and professionally, this becomes a mindset to live by – if you want to find success, you have to fail, pick yourself up, and try, try again!

Favorite day of the year?
“That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.”
What’s one truth in your life that sounds like a lie?
Based off looks and personality, you would probably assume I am a girly girl. Although I have my moments, I am very into sports. I played basketball my whole life and I played golf for 4 years in high school. In my free time, I like to run, play golf, and any other sport. I am the biggest Oklahoma Sooners football fan. I hope to one day be there to watch the Oklahoma Sooners win another National Championship.

What’s the most unusual thing in your desk drawer?

Sky diving, even though I don’t think I could actually get myself to jump out of the plane.
Cats or dogs?
Dogs over cats, always!

Who’s someone you’d like to meet? (they can be living or dead)
Audrey Hepburn has been a hero of mine ever since I was a little girl. Not only for her beauty and natural talent, but for her advocacy for people across the globe. Audrey encapsulates everything I hope to be. She was kind, graceful, generous and a true humanitarian.
If a movie were made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?
Definitely a 90s or early 00’s inspired rom com. I’m torn on who would play me as I love both Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. However, if I did have to choose, I’d have to go with my dog’s namesake, Julia.
