About Henry
How long have you been a part of the Paper Mart team? 3 years.
Walk us through a typical day at Paper Mart for you! I start my mornings with a cup of coffee to get my blood pumping. I check my emails to see if there is any troubleshooting that needs to be done with our WMS system. We are currently in the process of upgrading our WMS so there is a lot of testing involved and configuration with the upgrade.
What do you like best about working at Paper Mart? What’s your favorite Paper Mart memory?
The best thing I like about working at Paper Mart is the true work/life balance. I’ve worked in past company’s where they say they take work/life balance seriously, but it truly isn’t. My favorite memory is Paper Mart’s 100th Anniversary party.

Would you rather go back in time or in the future? Why?
I would go back in time to experience life when it was simpler times.
