Sample Introductions

Bill Smith shares something in common with Tom Sawyer—a carefree and wonderful boyhood growing up in a rural area south of Indianapolis and Clearwater, Kansas. In both places, he got to float down rivers in the summer with his two older brothers, shoot bb guns, and hunt quail and fish. As a result, today, Bill loves the outdoors, hunts with a bow and arrow, fishes, and camps. He also enjoys living in the smaller community of Franklin, where, as a child, Bill spent weekends at his grandmother’s house.
Just a few days ago, Bill was standing on his back patio when he heard the bells chime at the Franklin Court House. It took him back to his childhood and being at his grandmother’s house. He says that the owls still hoot at dusk, too, just like he remembers as a child. Those kinds of memories are priceless.
Bill says the 45-minute drive to and from Franklin each day is invaluable, because it lets him separate his personal life from his work. Bill says, “What I do Monday through Friday lets me do what I want to on weekends.”
Bill and Chris Cunningham, owner of Service Plus Heating, Cooling and Plumbing, were friends before Chris asked Bill to join the company. Right now, Bill is on the fast track and looks to be a part owner of Service Plus in five years and open an office in Bloomington.
There’s also a bit of Jack Kerouac in Bill. He loves to travel and prides himself on road adventures across the US. He only has 11 more states to visit before he can say he’s been to all 50 states. And, Bill just returned from watching his brother graduate from a four-year culinary school in Scottsdale, Arizona this past weekend. While there, Bill shared with his chef brother a secret ingredient he uses on chicken wings.
Something Bill and his older brothers share is a love of cooking. He says his younger sister didn’t pick up the “cooking” gene. Bill also has nine nieces and nephews scattered around the country.
Something you may not know about Bill is that he’s been noodling. Translation, Bill has caught fish with his hands.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Smith.

Denise Jones is an accomplished woman. You may be thinking, “I knew that, so tell me something I don’t know.”
Well, Denise is passionate about setting goals and achieving them. She has little pieces of paper taped to the walls of her office with her goals on them so that she can see them every day. Then, on the first of every month, when she turns the page of her appointment book to a new month and writes down her appointments, she compares her upcoming appointments to her goals. If the two don’t match, she thinks twice about keeping that appointment or confirming that meeting.
This accounts for Denise running her business AND, for the past eight years, being an Assistant Director for BNI, responsible for three chapters. It accounts for Denise being recognized as the YMCA’s 2008 Woman of Achievement Award recipient, Volunteer Category and as a finalist in the 2009 Torchbearer Award of the Indiana Commission on Women and as the 2002 Boys and Girls Club Volunteer of the Year.
As a child growing up, Denise secretly wanted to be a Radio City Music Hall Rockette. She’s 5 ft. 9 in. and loves to dance. Her mother always stressed having a backup plan. That backup plan was teaching, which comes naturally to Denise. This is why she teaches classes at the Referral Institute of Indiana.
Denise is the oldest of four siblings. She grew up in Lawrence and was the only female in her high school accounting classes. It was this experience that taught her the toughness and discipline she needs to go toe-to-toe with businesses today when she’s saving them money on their property taxes.
Ultimately, Denise’s passion is to move to San Diego in the next five years. She loves the sunshine and 70 degree weather year round with very few rainy days. But for now, she enjoys spending time with the love of her life, her “perfectly fantastic” granddaughter, Nikki. And, this Christmas season, Denise and Nikki will go to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas show AND the Rockettes perform.
Ladies and gentlemen, Denise Jones.

When David L. Davis enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1979, he had no idea that, today, he would be standing before you as Chairman and Army Veteran of the Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom, a legacy he took on after the death of his stepfather, CSM Donald E. Peed. Dave’s stepdad considered the terrorist attacks on 9/11 comparable to that of Pearl Harbor and established a memorial to honor our Hoosier fallen heroes who were stationed in both Afghanistan and Iraq in the war on terrorism since 9/11.
A Vietnam veteran, CSM Peed started the Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial in 2002. When CSM Peed died in 2005 from Agent Orange, to which he was exposed while in Vietnam, Dave took over this noble effort.
Dave spent 17 years in the military. His tours of duty included four years in Germany, where he served under his stepdad, CSM Donald E. Peed, who was Dave’s Battalion Sergeant Major; one year in Korea; six years at Fort Carson, Colorado, where he worked for the Division G4 as senior track NCO mechanic for the 4th Infantry Division; two years at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as a BNCO instructor; and three years in the Army National Guard.
Dave is both a Gulf War and Desert Storm veteran. Upon his discharge from the Army, he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant Promotable. He is a member of the VFW and the American Legion.
After leaving the Army, Dave went into the lawn and landscape business, serving clients for the last 16 years.
In 2008, Dave formed a committee of 10 that works tirelessly to help get the word out about the Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom. On April 1, 2009, ground was broken for the redesigned permanent memorial. On Flag Day, June 14, 2009, Dave and the committee rededicated this ongoing memorial to the Gold Star Mothers of Indiana and families of the fallen. The memorial is located in Westfield.
Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Veterans, David L. Davis.
