What’s my favorite app? If you had asked me prior to October 14 of this year, I would have probably responded with one of the dozens of photography-related apps that I use on a regular basis. However, October 14 was the day I got my new iPhone 4S, and with it came iOS 5 and Siri. In the days that followed, Siri became my favorite app.
Sealevel often fields a co-ed softball team to participate in a local league. This year was no exception as we were able to recruit quite a number of Sealevel employees for the team. The league is fairly competitive, and we are fortunate to have enough athletes on the Sealevel payroll to field a solid team most every year.
I really enjoy playing Frisbee. It is a sport that adapts well to age, ability, number of participants and desired activity level. It is social and can be either serenely calm or exhilaratingly fast-paced. Engineering involves a lot of up-close work, highly detailed and generally behind a desk or lab bench. It is great to get outdoors, go for long distance throws and catches, and spend time with coworkers outside the scope of project requirements. I have found my afternoons to be more productive and focused, albeit at the expense of a few sore muscles the next day, well worth it.
Tom O’Hanlan, Sealevel CEO, was named secretary of the board for the Society of International Business Fellows at their annual meeting in September. SIBF, a private, nonprofit organization, comprises 400 business, professional and academic leaders from around the world.
I often get asked why we have associated our business with rock and roller, environmentalist, and great guy, Chuck Leavell. You have to understand the culture here to see the connection. I think the creative boost works. Sealevel employs and retains extremely bright and creative people in all disciplines. We work, eat, party, care for, attend games, and do lots of community service as a company.
I recently returned from a trip to Dragon*Con, which is held annually in Atlanta, Georgia. This year marked the 25th anniversary of Dragon*Con, but it was my first trip. After spending the weekend amongst an estimated fifty-thousand attendees, it is definitely a sight to behold.
Whether you’re a Clemson Tiger or a USC Gamecock or anything in between, it only requires a few minutes in the presence of Coach Dabo Swinney to understand that his goals at Clemson extend much further than those achievable on the playing field inside Death Valley. Dabo’s vision at Clemson is one that has been mirrored by the O’Hanlan family here at Sealevel for the last 25 years.We have continuously contributed to the betterment our community through charitable giving programs designed to assist those in need. One of the most recent programs to receive local support from Sealevel and Clemson University is The Family Effect. In fact, both Dabo Swinney and the Sealevel president, Ben O’Hanlan, now serve on the board of directors for the non-profit organization.
