I was born and raised in Columbus,  Ohio and have one sister (Michelle) who is 4 years older than me. My father (Gary) is a retired Union guy, superb stainless steel and aluminum fabricator. My mother (Susan) is a home maker. My father built the house we grew up in and I was lucky enough to never move as a child. My neighborhood was SMALL and had 22 houses. The neighborhood was a one lane road with no curbs and no fire hydrants....I call it rural....some may refer to it as Redneck. I still occasionally get to chat with my neighborhood friends....mostly thanks to Facebook. With 22 homes and surrounded by farmland/crops there wasn't a great deal to do...so the neighborhood kids were close. 

  

           Each year I saw the seasons change through corn or soybeans growing in the fields across the street as well as in the fields behind the house. Best thing about it was we had LOTS of room to ride motorcycles, go carts and anything with an engine. 

      I went to High School at Groveport Madison School and college at The Ohio State University and Franklin University.

After Warehouse club closed its doors in 1995 I was offered a role with a Recruitment Process Outsourcing organization known as Seaton Corporation headquartered in Chicago, but my client was located in Columbus. I was hired as one of two account managers after going through what seemed like 65 rounds of DDI behavioral based interviews. I was responsible for outsourcing all of the supplemental hiring practices for the SEARS Distribution center on the Westside of Columbus....this is where I throw up the "W" hand gesture and yell "Westside!" I learned a great deal and worked more than I learned. After staying there a couple of years and working 70+ hours a week I banked some money...really only because I worked too much and never had time to spend it! I realized working from 6:00am until 11:30pm regularly was not how I wanted to live. 

     I left Seaton/Sears and went to work at CBS Personnel as an account manager where I was tasked with finding people to work for my clients. Some of my clients included: Victoria Secrets, Bath and Body Works, T. Marzetti and TS Tech. I liked the job and was promoted quickly to run an Office in Grove City, Ohio. 

     I worked in the Columbus Bank for about 7 years and was part of several Bank acquisitions. The Bank headquarters are located in Cincinnati, Ohio so I met several great folks from our Cincinnati Office....including one person that what would one day become my wife.  I moved to Loveland, Ohio a small suburb north of Cincy in 2003 where i still live today. 

     I proposed to my co-worker (Jeanee) in Chicago and we married (March 16, 2005) about a year later on the beaches of Aruba. We have 3 great daughters (Jillian, Ava and Madelyn) who I lovingly refer to Starbucks coffee sizes (Tall, Grande` & Venti). I'll probably have to include more about "Marriage and Kids" in future blogs.

     I still work at Fifth Third Bank in Downtown Cincinnati and manage our hiring practices for all of the Banks National Lines of Business. I am one of the lucky people that loves what they do......I get to chase Bankers with Ego's and tell them how great they are and why they should work at Fifth Third. 

     

     I have a great wife and 3 great daughters.....with four ladies at home and a job that is relentless I don't have a great deal of free time.

I refer to my house as the Cain Sorority House....."Kappa Kappa Cain". I always wanted to live in a Sorority House, just didn't picture it this way  .  

What'd I miss?
