Meet Steve Winkel! Steve joins Inspira as the VP of People and Culture. Want to get to know Steve? Read on...

**What is your biggest pet peeve?**

The loud crunching when people eat stuff like chips, popcorn or sometimes candy Drives me crazy – its actually called “Misophonia”

**What is your theme song?**

“Simple Song” by The Shins – it’s a quirky love song that definitely speaks to my hopeless romantic side. As a little bit of trivia, it was also the song that was playing when the mother was first revealed in How I Met Your Mother.

**List three things on your bucket list.**

- Attend the World Cup from beginning to end – hoping that 2026 will be my year!
- I want to go to Poland and Germany – I am Polish and German, and am yet to experience my heritage.
- One summer I want to rent a huge RV and show my kids around the US.

**What is your biggest fear?**

I fear the dentist – I know that’s stereotypical, but I avoid it at all costs and am currently in search of a sedation dentist so I can’t remember a thing.

**What is your drink of choice?**

I love an Old Fashioned – it is the one drink that I can enjoy any time, any weather, any mood.
