Meet Splash Omnimedian, Manning Kolb

Manning Kolb started at Splash Omnimedia in 2015 as an intern and joined our team as a full time Account Analyst in September of 2016. He lives in Lexington with his wife Kelly and black lab Murray. When he's not busy crunching numbers, Manning loves spending time with family and friends. He's a self-proclaimed movie buff (500+ in his collection), with Goodfellas as his favorite. We asked Manning to share a little more about himself:

Where are you from?

I was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia but I consider Lexington my home.

What is your favorite color?

Blue.

What exactly do you do at Splash?

I am an Account Analyst, which means I'm constantly crunching numbers and matching figures.

What did you do before working here?

I studied Business Administration and Marketing at the University of South Carolina - Aiken.

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

My wife and puppy. I mean that figuratively and literally (they're both early risers).

What's an interesting fact about you?

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a movie star (I've made more home movies in my life than I'd sometimes like to admit).

What moments can you think of that "shaped your life"?

Joining a fraternity in college definitely helped me learn a lot about myself and who I wanted to be. I would also say that getting married to the girl of my dreams was a defining moment in my life.

What do you think the world needs more of?

Laughter and joy.

What are you most proud of?

My marriage and the journey my life has taken me on (so far).

What is your favorite thing to do?

I love to go out on the lake or watch a good movie.

What do you like to learn about?

I love learning about new things, but I'm also a sucker for history.

What are you most thankful for?

My wife and my family.
