Q&A: Meet RESTORE Regional Director of Business Development, Johanna Salomon

Hey Johanna. Thanks for agreeing to this Q&A, which helps our users learn about the RESTORE team. Let's go!

Q: What do you do at RESTORE-Skills and in what circumstances would I come to you for something?

A: I am a Director of Business Development at RESTORE.  You can come to me with any questions about RESTORE, the myriad of ways a facility can benefit from its use, or if you’re interested in bringing RESTORE into your facilities.

Q: What led you to this career path?

A: I had a number of opportunities presented to me, but none that made me feel real excitement.  When I looked at the RESTORE product I immediately thought of 5 things about it that were incredible and felt genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity and what I could do with it. 

Q: How do you prefer to start and end your day?

A: With a lot of coffee, and a list.  As soon as it’s “go-time” for my day, I open my notebook to review my notes from the day prior, then I flip to a fresh sheet of paper to start my new to-do list.  I include calls & tasks, then leave my book open so I can add to it throughout the day.

Q: What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

A: I am an avid gardener.  When the weather is warm, there is always something blooming in my yard.  I’m deep enough into it that I order special varieties of roses online because I need more variety than what the garden centers can offer. 

Q: If you could only eat one food item for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A: Sushi or tacos.

Q: What's one song/artist you are embarrassed to admit you like?

A: I dressed up as a Spice Girl for Halloween, so I am impossible to embarrass.

Q: What energizes you at work?  

A: My heart sings when I make a sale, but my biggest motivator is positive feedback from happy clients.  I pride myself on my ability to develop great relationships with my clients and get their trust and respect, so positive feedback bolsters my confidence in that.

Q: If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?

A: Flight.

Speaking of that, we have to jet. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Johanna. Have a question for Johanna? Drop us a comment & we will get you an answer.

Q&A: Meet RESTORE Front End Developer, Josh Moyers

Hey Josh. Thanks for agreeing to give our RESTORE tribe a look into your life. Let's get started.


Q: What do you do at RESTORE-Skills and in what circumstances would I come to you for something?

A: I build and maintain user interfaces, handle accessibility concerns, and help come up with development standards and practices for streamlined development workflows. You could come to me with any questions or concerns when it comes to user accessibility, the visual elements of RESTORE, or any nerdy tech questions.

Q: What led you to this career path?

A: I got into development as a hobby in high school. Being able to write code and see it do something always seemed interesting to me. Once I figured out I could do that for a living it just sort of happened.

Q: Who has influenced you most when it comes to how you approach your work?

A: Probably a combination of my parents. They’ve always been hard workers, and have always mixed humor into their daily lives.

Q. What is your favorite thing to do when not at work? 

A: I like tinkering with small electronics, building stuff around the house, and trying repeatedly (i.e. failing) to create music.

Q. What's something you recently saw that made you smile?

A: My daughter's first dance recital.

Q: What's one song/artist you are embarrassed to admit you like?

A: Fergalicious - Fergie (I know every word, and I guess I’m not embarrassed about it. It was my ringtone for several years.)

Q: What’s the worst job you’ve ever had, and what did you learn from it? 

A: I don’t think I’ve ever had a “worst” job. I’ve worked fast food, as a stock boy at a grocery store, at marketing and promotional agencies, in retail corporations, and even spent some time in the Army. They’ve all had their ups & downs. I guess I’ve just learned to be adaptive and roll with the punches throughout all of it.

Q: What three words would your friends use to describe you?

A: Clever, Loyal and Tenacious


Wow! Well, we definitely need all three of those things here at RESTORE. Thanks for giving us some insight into your life. Have a question for Josh? Drop us a comment and we will get you an answer.

Celebrating The New RESTORE Platform

The date above doesn’t just stand out because it’s made of all 2s, it’s also a significant date for the RESTORE-Skills community. On 2.2.22 we launched our new RESTORE platform. We want to thank our users, players and internal team for providing valuable feedback. Our development team took that feedback, set to work, and boy did they deliver! We have received such positive comments about the new benefits and new games.

So, what does one do when they launch a new platform, which changes skill building, patient care and so much more? Why celebrate, of course! Our CEO, Eran Arden wanted all of us to celebrate together, so he sent chocolates to RESTORE users and team members. All great celebrations include chocolate!

We are so thankful for everyone in our RESTORE community and we look forward to much more growth in the years to come. Thank you for showing up every day and changes lives for the better. We appreciate you!
