From there, I take care of storage, UNMC surplus and do small moves all across campus. I also sell furniture back on campus at a very good price.<\/p>\n<p><b>Commitment to excellence is one of UNMC&#8217;s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group demonstrate commitment to excellence at UNMC.<\/b><br \/> <br \/>\nI thought about this for a long time, because I have so many great stories. The one I chose is one I see every day in my travels around our hospital and campus, and that is seeing front-line employees such as environmental services, mailroom, general supply and office employees helping patients, their families and visitors to navigate our hospital and campus, which can be very intimidating. It takes special people in this day and age &#8212; where so many just walk on by with indifference, our UNMC  people step up and make a difference. It feels good to help too!<\/p>\n<p><b>What is your favorite fall activity?<\/b><br \/>\nGrandchildren anything, golf, bass fishing, Husker football parties.<\/p>\n<p><b>List three things people may not know about you.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My mother, Janice, retired from the College of Nursing after 21 years, my sister, Lynne, works in gastroenterology, and my brother, Joe, works in the pharmacy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2013\/04\/25\/lookin-at-u-paula-swanson\/\">My wife, Paula (definitely my better half), has been at UNMC for 30 years and currently works for the Munroe-Meyer Institute.<\/a>\n<li>Paula and I have been married for 31 years and have three beautiful girls and one handsome boy.
