Welcome to our Meet the Team series, where we’ll be introducing the Move For Hunger Staff 1 blog and 9 questions at a time. We hope you enjoy getting to know our team members as much as we enjoy working with them!
Kicking off the new year, we would like to introduce you to Kramer Stuth, our Food Recovery Program Manager at Move For Hunger! His nonprofit background and desire to focus on hunger relief led him to joining the Move For Hunger team this January.
What Do You Do At Move For Hunger?
Manager of Food Recovery Programs
Why did you join Move For Hunger?
After leaving another non profit organization, I knew I wanted to stay in the nonprofit sector focusing on hunger relief. I was presented with this opportunity with a former colleague and when doing more research about Move For Hunger, I felt like this company was the right fit for me.
What do you like about working at Move For Hunger?
I love being able to work remote. That is something I really enjoy. Having the flexibility to be there for my family and for work is amazing. I also love making connections to our Food Donors, Food Banks/Pantries, Gleaning Organizations, etc. It is amazing to see what people can do together to solve a very prevalent problem.
What’s something that you’re working on right now that you’re excited about?
I am very excited about working with my team on figuring out the best way to manage our accounts across the network. Being able to streamline that process to make the donation and transportation process easier is something that I am very excited about.
Who has influenced you the most?
A combination of my wife Melissa and daughter Scarlett. First, my wife made me become a better version of myself. Second, my 19 month old daughter. Knowing that I have to show up everyday to be the best father/husband not only helps me at home, but also with my work everyday.
What food could you eat every day and never get tired of?
Pizza. I can never get tired of eating pizza. Deep Dish, Thin Crust, NY Style, Detroit, etc.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?
You can never learn if you never fail. Also, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzkey - Michael Scott. (Big The Office Fan.)
What’s your favorite movie?
Coach Carter. I am a big sports fan, and this movie just hits home for me.
