My 9-year-old son wanted his own laptop. We told him he could continue using our computer. He wanted his own. My wife and I told him if he wanted his own then he needed to save the money and buy one himself. We don't believe in buying our children everything. We feel it's best for them to "earn" the extra things in life. Well, that 9-year-old saved his money for 18 months. I don't think he spent $5 over that amount of time. He saved everything he got for gifts, extra jobs, etc...

Every month, Socket employees nominate and vote on a co-worker who best exemplifies our Core Values and Beliefs.

This month, we picked Kevin Sell.

Kevin came to Socket a little over a year ago, bringing a decade's worth of field service experience to the position. Lately, he's been performing pre-installation work in rural Boone and Callaway counties. As we prepare to begin installing fiber-to-the-home services in this area, Kevin talks with customers about how the fiber will be run to their home.
