David William Hanten was born in Janesville, Wisconsin but grew up in Houston, Texas and attended Bellaire High School. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Texas State University in San Marcos and today works as a Senior Membership Recruiting Manager. As a Senior Membership Recruiting Manager, David sells memberships to attorneys, assist other reps with closing, and work as a team leader. David says that his favorite part of work is making money and the competitive nature inherent to business. He likes seeing his new member attorneys and sales staff having great success.
David also likes going out for Italian food at Tree House Italian Grill, watching live music at the Continental Club, or grabbing a drink at The Belmont. His favorite foods are Italian, Japanese, and barbeque when he’s not going to his favorite cereals like Trix, Cocoa Crispies, and Smacks. You may recognize David from a few local commercials and B-movies or from his days as a punk rock band’s lead singer. He likes listening to Rockabilly, Swing, Jazz, New Wave, Psycobilly, Ska, Classical, and some good Opera music. David also likes shopping from vintage stores to high-end haberdashery stores.
David’s “closer” mentality and positive team leadership makes him an indispensable part of the LegalMatch team in Austin, Texas. His attention to training staff, finding quality attorneys, and creating an enjoyable supportive work environment for his team has helped create countless LegalMatch success stories.
Brandi Shehan was born in Denton but grew up in Dallas, Texas. She graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos and works as the LegalMatch Regional Director of Membership. That means she manages and mentors membership recruiting managers. Brandi teaches her membership
recruiting managers the skills they need to ensure they’re bringing qualified new attorneys into the LegalMatch family. The most rewarding part for her is working with her team and talking to attorneys, especially when they’re excited about membership.
When Brandi isn’t working she’s spending time with her two children, Jacob and Alyssa, who are 9 and 13 respectively. You can find her throughout Austin with her boyfriend at Mexican food joints like Matt’s El Rancho or Maria’s Tacos and crawfish spots like Shoal Creek Saloon or The Boiling Pot. She also enjoys a good bowl of Raison Bran Crunch. Brandi loves live music checking the Austin Chronicle regularly for shows as well as festivals, thrift stores, and Saturday morning garage sale announcements.
Brandi’s outgoing positive nature is loved by her coworkers because she’s always enjoying life and making folks laugh. She does an outstanding job molding young employees into outstanding membership recruitment managers and is one of the reasons you can count on LegalMatch for pre-screened reputable lawyers.
Recently in the April 2010 Consumer Newsletter, LegalMatch announced a partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise funds for the cure of blood cancers. Now is a better time than ever to help out because an estimated 53,240 people will be diagnosed with some form of blood cancer this year alone. That accounts for about 10% of the 1.5 million newly diagnosed cases in the United States each year.
For every blog or website that displays the “In Support of a Cure” icon LegalMatch will be donating $10 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Participation is totally free! All you need to do is read the rules and follow the simple instructions telling you how to post the icon on your blog or website. There are even specific directions for TypePad, Blogger, and Wordpress. When you’re finished posting the icon, send us an email with a link to your website and we’ll reply by confirming $10 was donated on your behalf. Making a difference is only a few clicks away so take a few seconds to help out the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
Timothy Sookram is a LegalMatch Web Designer who works with the marketing and engineering teams to create user-friendly designs. It would suffice to say that Tim makes using LegalMatch legal resources and posting your case simpler and easier.
Unlike the other employees we’ve profiled, Tim works out of our Austin, Texas office which isn’t far from where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at University of Texas, Austin. You can find Tim at Bill Miller BBQ or Niki’s Pizza when he’s not searching for his favorite dish, chicken tikka masala. Berkley, Boston, Seattle, and Paris (France, not Texas) were his favorite vacations to date. When he can’t get away, Tim enjoys watching movies by Hayao Miyazaki but didn’t enjoy the director’s last film named Ponyo. His favorite bands are classic, alternative, and indie rockers like the Beatles, Bon Iver, and Okkervil River.
Tim lives with his girlfriend Shannon, guinea pig Horatio R. Piggingworth, and a bunny named Denzel. Since he likes tinkering with hardware and building computers, he’s a PC guy like our other technology support staffers and he mentioned having an affinity for the new Windows 7.
Tim’s diligence in the office and sense of humor make him an outstanding part of the LegalMatch team. His diverse workload offers a wide selection of tasks that keep him engaged and constantly rummaging for occasions to make improvements.
