He has been a part of the Challenge family since 2007! Tired of breeding cows in Cortland, he wanted a more meaningful job so he decided to go back into Human Services. Before moving to the Ithaca area in 2005 from Maine he taught creative writing and Human services. His favorite part of his job is working with the participants. “They are harder workers than most people without barriers and most of them complain less.” I’ve have seen Briggs interact with our participants…he is brilliant! Briggs wants people to know that we help people become more productive and contribute to the community in a positive way. When Briggs is not at work he spends time working out both for himself and coaching special Olympians. As a boxing enthusiast Briggs also spends time writing for a boxing magazine. Something surprising that people may not know about Briggs – He is probably the only person in the US that has an MFA in creative writing and can breed a cow! He also served in Desert Storm as an infantry soldier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622f3823cd5b976d93f4d908/893b7e0c-bcb0-40c5-8def-1424b60ccfee/slayton.jpg Leadership - Make it stand out Tammy Slayton, SPHR, SHRM-SCP has been a human resource professional for over 25 years.
