Its 5:30 a.m. and I wake to the muffled snores of 180 pounds of Saint Bernard. I select the day’s pair of shoes and plan an outfit around them, although currently working from home it’s usually a pair of flip flops or no shoes at all. I wander downstairs to feed the boys, first Mike then the goofball twins Moose and Squirrel. In the dining room (currently my office) with
Something (not so) spooky lives right next to the airport, but not many know about it.

This time around, Lindsay (communications specialist) and Kati (digital media specialist) made a stop at Land-Grant Brewing Co. for lunch with Auntie Anne’s for dessert (fun fact: Auntie Anne’s officially opened again last month!). Check out their suggestions
A day in my life starts with waking up at 10 a.m. and checking emails. I realize there are several delayed flights inbound to the handling teams so I get ready and head in early to work. Once I make the short 10-minute trip, I check with the FBO Coordinator to get debriefed on overnight/morning cargo ops, passenger ops and FBO fueling ops. I also review staff call-offs, flight schedules,

At John Glenn Columbus International Airport, we’re spending this week thanking our Airport Ambassadors and Paw Force One teams for delivering warm, welcoming experiences to passengers!
