25 years ago, when I started at EchoStar, I was really attracted to the people that I met during my interviews. I would not have stayed at EchoStar for such a long time if I had not been enjoying the work I'm doing. It has been absolutely fulfilling. I love what I do. I love the people that I work with, and it has been an extremely rewarding journey for me.
