The Team: Shelley Hrapkiewicz
Jun 22, 2009 Print This Post
It’s been a few weeks since I have heaped praise on a Riv team member, so I thought I’d do so again today.
This week’s victim is Shelley Hrapkiewicz. Go ahead…try to pronounce her last name. Want some help? “Rap-KEV-Ech” Try saying that ten times fast. Or even worse, try spelling it one time slowly. I’m just delighted there is someone at Riv with a harder to work with last name than me!
Shelley has other redeeming qualities besides her last name. Namely, that she is our Operations Genius around these parts. She is an accountant by trade and that’s what we initially hired her to do. To our benefit, she quickly outgrew that position and she now helps keep all of Riv’s expanding Operations aimed in the right direction. Here are some interesting facts about Shelley:
- She once had to fight to keep from giggling while telling our staff we were cutting the budget.
- Her idea of leisure reading is the “2009 Clergy Tax and Compensation Guide”
- If you want candy, just wander into her office sometime.
- Kids wander into her office all the time.
- She is really really really into good food. Did I mention “really?”
- She makes me cowboy coffee.
- She once turned a two-page food policy document into a better 3 two-sentence food policy document.
- She is always down for a good practical joke, usually done from a human-resources angle.
- She laughs a lot.
- She’s like the mom around here.

Cowboy coffee as in “put coffee grounds and water in a pot and boil”?
