Staci Rucker

Early in my career as a practicing attorney, I was sent
to review medical billing records in a warehouse in Fort
Worth, Texas, for a case I’d been assigned.  I was there
for two weeks. There were no windows in the warehouse,
but I had lots of company – mice!  Maybe it isn’t cool
or weird, but it was definitely memorable.

I have an 80-lb Goldendoodle named Gordon Gartrelle
Rucker.  We call him “Gordy.”

Find what you love, and the money will come.

Waze.  It’s the only way to survive Atlanta traffic.

With the world changing so rapidly – whether it’s
technology or societal attitudes – I am inspired by how
my parents (both in their 80s) have evolved with the
times and continue to remain relevant and engaged.

Being so close to family and friends who have become
family.

Gocha’s – best fried fish and grits ever.

Long conversations after dinner with my family.  We
often eat late because of work demands and my kids’
extracurricular activities, but we still take our time
eating and talking.  Dinner lasts at least 1.5 hours, and
I enjoy the uninterrupted time connecting with everyone
after a long day apart.
