FMTC Employee Spotlight: Alan Rapoport

How long have you worked at FMTC and what is your current role?

I have worked here for 4 years and I currently manage publishers that subscribe to FMTC. Before FMTC I owned and ran a deals and coupons site for 14 years; and yes, we subscribed to FMTC!

What do you like most about your job?

I really enjoy working with publishers and making their life easier by doing a lot of the heavy lifting for them in providing them clean, approved, working deals to post on their site.

What is the best career lesson you’ve learned so far?

Prioritization! We all have a lot going on, both at work and at home, so prioritizing tasks is a very important skill to hone to make sure we are getting done what needs to be done.

What do you like to do when you aren’t working?

I love to travel and experience new cultures. Over the last 10 years or so I have been fortunate to travel with my family to northern Europe, southern Europe, Peru, and around the US.

What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know?

I participated in the Disney College Program at Disney World 27 years ago and met the woman who would become my wife. Definitely got the pixie dust!

What’s your motto or personal mantra?

Serenity now! When I feel overwhelmed I say this out loud, laugh because it is from Seinfeld, and get on with my day.

Where is your hometown?

I grew up and currently live in the Denver area; however, I was born in Florida and have also lived in Arizona and Texas.
