Employee interview
Elisabeth Thoennes
Accounts payable
roers management
get to know her:
1. Introduce yourself (Name, Title, and Length of Time with Roers):
My name is Elisabeth Thoennes, I have been with Roers for just over 6 months, and I am an accountant.
2. What does a day in your role entail?
- The first 15 days of the month are a grind, working on bank reconciliations, doing billings, finishing AP, then the second half of the month is playing catch up, sending out financials and doing some budget to actual analysis for each property.
3. What is your favorite core value and why?
- Community- I think giving back is what really keeps a community healthy and growing. So being willing and able to use one’s talents to help better each other is how a community really elevates itself.
4. What is a fun fact about you outside of work?
I have the bad habit of thinking that I can learn how to do anything with Pinterest or YouTube. I have a lot of halfway created projects and abandoned hobbies, that I gave up on because I was frustrated that I couldn’t figure out how to do it from one video or article. Some examples of these are- refurbishing furniture, upholstery, juicing, guitar, landscaping, dog grooming, real estate, french, wigs, rewiring (no comment on how dangerous that one was), and many more.
5. Last but not least, what is your favorite part of your position or working for Roers?
- I appreciate how I am lead. I feel like my boss trusts in my abilities while pushing me to be a better accountant and I always feel like I am valued and understood.

Darin Horner

Fargo
carpenter i
Got a chance to work closer with Darin at The Flats. I have been around him on other projects, but this one was different. I really noticed the partnership he created with the RPMR team. Very friendly and talkative daily with our team. Learned little things about him and his family! Made sure to share updates if he knew of anything and really tried to make sure he helped complete everything at the building. If he had a question, he would come find myself or Lindsey O to make sure he was completing the way we envisioned, it. If there was an adjustment needed, he just rolled with it. Really enjoyed getting to know him better and working with him.
