Jan Bollen
Assistant to the CEO & President
- The best advice I ever received:
- Be strong, take responsibility for your own actions, solve your own problems, find joy in the simple things that life has to offer and there is a Greater Power in this universe. One that we will understand totally someday.
- My mentor:
- Millie Ward.
- My favorite thing at home is:
- A cup of hot tea and a good book to read.
- Very few people know I:
- Spent two years working for the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and lived in a compound with 600 women!
- My last meal would be:
- Eggs Benedict, with fresh fruit and a champagne mimosa.
- Three people at my dream dinner would be:
- My son, Kyle, who was killed tragically in a car accident. And my mother and father, both of whom I have lost due to illness.
- The historical figure I most admire is:
- Thomas Jefferson, who in 1776 drafted the Declaration of Independence, our nation's most cherished symbol of liberty.
- If I've learned one thing it is:
- That there is no greater pain on the face of this earth than the loss of a son or daughter.
- First car:
- 1968 Volkswagon Beetle.
- First beer:
- My doctor recommended that I try to drink a malt liquor beer every night in order to gain weight because I could not get my weight above 90 lbs. from age 18 - 35 years old. Malt liquor is so gross, so needless to say, I remained skinny all those years and to this day don't like beer of any kind.
- Web site I cannot live without:
- google.com
- Favorite thing at an amusement park:
- Watching others ride the rides. And everything from funnel cakes to candy apples!
