Bindery Department – Ripon, Wisconsin

At Walsworth, I’m a bindery inspector and I help when needed with the web press.

In my day-to-day work, I do a lot of different job duties. I do a lot of physical work and go wherever I am needed.

I got hired on at Walsworth when Ripon Printers became Walsworth – Ripon a few years ago. I started here when it was Ripon Printers and I have 18 years of press and bindery experience.

I love working with my coworkers and making them smile.

If I had a personalized coffee mug at work, it would say “Legendary Uncle Funcle Mattie”

What makes me want to come to work every day is knowing I will be doing different jobs on different machines. I just enjoy being me and knowing I can make a difference. I like knowing I will do a great job and make people happy.

A fun fact about me is I love sports and being positive. I just love to make everyone feel special and everyone holds a special place in my heart and life. I love to smile and make everyone happy and go lucky.

My family is awesome and my parents are my two best friends and heroes. I am blessed with great family and friends.

When I’m not at work, I love just being with family and friends. I also like going to sports events and cheering on the athletes, especially the super Ripon Tigers sports team!

Walsworth has contributed to my future by keeping me on as an employee when Ripon Printers became Walsworth – Ripon. I’m thankful to have this job and that my family and I did not have to move.

I give back to my community by just making everyone feel better and brightening someone’s day. I like to volunteer and make people smile.
