Joe Witkowski: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A lover of all animals, with dogs occupying the top spot. I can’t kill a fly or ant without feeling bad.
• Someone whose recovery from Starbucks addiction only lasts until someone asks, “Want to go to Starbucks?”
• An expert at memes, and I look for opportunities to send one whenever possible
• A believer that the biggest impact we can have in the world is by simply treating everyone with kindness and respect
• Someone who loves reading and watching movies, but struggles to pick out books and movies I want to read or see
• A very private person –  I cannot believe I am participating in this
• Committed to growing, improving, and stepping out of my comfort zone on occasion, thus my participation in this
• My dog, Oscar, was and always will be my soul twin, and my motivation to, “Be the person your dog thinks you are”
• Unwaveringly dedicated to health and fitness. It’s as vital to my mental health as it is to my physical health…but I’m still going to complain about working out.
• Grateful to have positive influences around me, some of whom are right here in the firm’s trademarks group
