Q&A With Austin

Best thing about living in Michigan?

There’s nothing better than Michigan in the summer. Camping trips, hiking, late nights with friends, and just being outside as much as possible, it’s hard to beat.

When you're not working, what do you find yourself up to?

I really enjoy checking out new restaurants around Grand Rapids and spending time with friends. Whether it’s trying a new spot downtown or planning a weekend trip, I like staying active and making the most of my time outside the office.

If you weren’t in this industry, what would you be doing?

If I wasn't in advertising I would have considered business law. I would still want to be in a position where I am working with business owners which is why that industry also intrigued me. However, I wanted more creativity in my day-to-day and being in an advertising and website role, it checks both boxes for me.
