Fittingly, Nick would title his autobiography, “Nick Araco:  Making Connections That Count.” To relax and unwind, Nick likes to sit at the beach with his family sipping on a glass of wine, and dreams of visiting Positano, Italy in the near future for its beautiful cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast. Nick loves coming home from a long day and seeing his dogs waiting for him at the doorway with their tails wagging. He loves listening to U2, and if he could only read one book forever it would be IT by Stephen King.

Shannon looks forward to coming home and seeing her dog, Murphy, after a long day. She is her mother’s biggest fan and enjoys spending quality time with her and going on walks with her dog to relax and unwind. Antarctica is at the top of Shannon’s bucket list, and if she had to read one book for the rest of her life, it would be The Glass Castle, because it’s very unique and she never gets tired of reading it. If she had an autobiography, it would be titled “In Process.”

Tom is his kids’ biggest fan and loves to travel across the globe with his family. His bucket list continuously grows, but some at the top are having breakfast with the giraffes in Kenya, the Hebrides, and Irkutsk, Russia. When he’s not looking for his next destination, Tom likes to do as little as possible in order to relax and unwind.

Grant wishes to travel to St. Andrews in the near future, and if he had an autobiography, it would be called “Resilient.

Mitch is a big fan of the New York Yankees and cannot wait to travel to the Canadian Rockies. He is always excited to get home to his wife and go on walks with her when he wants to relax.

Greg cannot wait to be greeted by his Irishdoodle, Donavan, everyday when he comes home, and is his three kids’ biggest fan and supporter. He hopes to visit the Greek Islands in the near future, but until then, he enjoys de-stressing by sitting on the patio on a cool night sipping a glass of wine or bourbon. His autobiography would be titled, “Remember Where You Come From,” and if Greg could only read one thing forever, it would be the Bible.

Scott is a big family man, and is always excited to see his family and dogs everyday when he gets home. He is his daughter Danielle’s biggest supporter and loves sharing his passion for golf with everyone around him.

If he were to write an autobiography, it would be titled, “He Did It His Way!” and The Book of Jewish Values by Joseph Telushkin is one of his favorite books.

Milton Corsey - Director, AchieveNEXT Human Capital Solutions

Milton is his daughter’s biggest fan and is always excited to get home and eat a home cooked meal. Egypt is at the top of his bucket list, but in the meantime, he likes to exercise to relax and unwind.

Robyn looks forward to seeing her dogs when she walks through the front door, as well as her two sons, being their #1 supporter. When it’s time to destress, Robyn likes to work out or watch TV with her husband, but plans to visit Rome very soon. “Wonder Woman” would be the title of Robyn’s autobiography, but for now, if she had to choose one book to read it would be A Wrinkle in Time, her favorite growing up.

Nithish Raja - Data Analyst Co-op, AchieveNEXT

Nithish anticipates coming home and digging into his favorite snacks and reading one of his all-time favorite books, The Great Gatsby by F.
