Employee Spotlight - Chad Glover

My name is Chad Glover, and I am a Sales Consultant at Red Wing Software. I’ve been with Red Wing Software for almost 18 years. While at work, I spend my time helping our customers and prospective customers with their accounting and payroll software needs. I also travel to trade shows and conferences a few times a year, which allows me to get some face time with our customers. I truly enjoy meeting our customers and putting a face to the names of those I have worked with throughout the years. While not at work, I spend most of my time with my wife Rachel and our golden retriever, Birdie, watching my kids Brik(10), Remi(6), and Etta(4) play sports, gymnastics, and swimming. With any free time I have after all of that, you can find me in the outdoors golfing, fishing, hunting, or spending time at our camper.

My name is Mike Zielski, and I am the Quality Assurance and Project Manager for Red Wing Software. My job is to make sure that the Red Wing Software products meet our customers’ expectations and that everything works as efficiently as possible. I have always enjoyed processing ideas that culminate into better management decisions and more efficient business flow. I have been at Red Wing Software for 23 years and currently reside with my wife and daughter in River Falls, Wisconsin (about 30 miles from Red Wing, MN), where I grew up. I am a soon-to-be empty nester since my daughter will graduate high school this year and move on to college. We will miss her so much, but we look forward to more freedom and more time to travel the country. When not at work, there is a good chance you will find me and my blinking red tail light rolling down open county roads on my road bike or sweating out an indoor trainer bike ride. Happy trails!

Hi, I am Tony, and I have worked at Red Wing Software since just before the Twins won their last World Series in 1991. My job is to write software and thereby keep QA busy. I strive to write code that somebody just out of college could understand, but I don’t succeed as often as I’d like. I also enjoy making sense of data, usually through reports. I like to read, travel, and write more code when I’m not working. My wife and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. During our married life, Red Wing Software allowed me to keep my job while we moved from Minnesota to London, New York, Amsterdam, and now beautiful Bucks County, PA. I collect old maps and useless facts about the origins of words, both of which do not lend themselves to engaging dinner conversation. After many years of being dilettantes, some friends and I are working on getting our sommelier certifications, partly as an excuse to try new wines but mainly as an excuse to go to Italy for the final test.

Hi everyone! My name is Jake, and I started working for Red Wing Software in November 2022. I’ve spent the last 12 years working in finance operations but decided to move on from the corporate scene and get back to my roots of directly providing a service to customers. I worked in customer service and sales for about 20 years before finance and enjoyed every minute of it. I’m hoping to find that same satisfaction here at Red Wing Software, and from what I can tell it should be relatively easy to accomplish. My tenure has been short, but I can already tell what a fantastic company this is by the people around me and our vision for serving our customers with excellence. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this team!
I spend my free time watching the Vikings, going on an ATV adventure, casting a fishing rod, playing with my dogs, or hanging out with my grandkids, which is the most rewarding of all. I also enjoy spending time with my parents or any number of my cousins and extended family. Another thing I enjoy is climbing into my 1979 International 886. Don’t get me wrong, I may aspire to be an actual farmer, but all this converted city boy does is run the disc around the field to knock down some weeds and kick up some dirt. This comes in especially handy when my wife tells me she has a project for me, as it gives me an escape and a couple of hours of serenity. Although I will miss my IH dearly, I am considering moving on from plowing dirt and potentially swapping it out for a skid steer. I still may not know what I am doing, but it gives me another loud diesel to crank up as I’m about to get a new assignment from my wife.
I am looking forward to speaking with you and hope to lend a helping hand when needed.

Hi, I am Stephanie, and I have worked at Red Wing Software for nearly 18 years! I love working at Red Wing Software for many reasons, not the least of which is that we all know each other here, and we always support each other in whatever we may have going on in our lives. I enjoy working in marketing also because there’s always something new to learn, some new technology that can help us get our message out, and it is good to be learning new things constantly. It helps keep me feeling young!
One of the things I love to do outside of work is travel. I went on an exchange in high school and got hooked on traveling to new places! Several years ago, I met a guy who loves travel as much as I do. We got married in 2020 and have been on a mission ever since to see as many places as possible, even while we both still work full-time. In September, we went on a guided tour of Norway and were in constant awe of the country’s beauty. My favorite part of the trip was swimming in an outdoor pool at the Alexandra Spa in Loen while looking around at all the mountains and the beautiful landscape surrounding us. The fjords were absolutely out of this world! There are so many beautiful places in this world, and I love Norway, but my favorite place is still Vienna, Austria.
