Rhonda Dean
Rhonda is the Membership
Sales Manager for AirMedCare
Network
RD: Simon Peter. Peter was enthu-
siastic, strong-willed, impulsive
and, [at] times, brash. But for all his
strengths, Peter had several failings in
his life. Still, the Lord who chose him
continued to mold him into exactly
who He intended Peter to be.

best day ever?

Parker County Today: How did you
get into your occupation?
Rhonda Dean: I was laid off from
Frito-Lay, moved west, and God
provided a fabulous position with
AirMedCare Network — the nation’s
largest air ambulance membership
network. I provide folks with peace
of mind for very little money. It’s not
a job when you hear the stories of
those whose lives and money were
saved. What a ride it’s been (no pun
intended)!
PCT: What is your favorite novel?
RD: “The Help,” by Kathryn Stocket.
“Ever morning, until you dead in the

fools say about me today?”

plishment?
RD: My marriage, three grown
daughters and a granddaughter.
PCT: What are the best words of
wisdom to live by?
RD: Will it matter a year from now?
And, always have something to look
forward to.
PCT: What is the coolest thing you
feel you have done in your life?
RD: The coolest thing I’ve ever done
would be a toss-up between spend-
ing a week exploring Alaska and/or
helmet diving in the Cayman Islands.

PCT: What do you do to decompress?
Texas, LLC
RD: Travel and watch the sunset,
preferably with a glass of wine.
PCT: What is something people don’t
know about you?

My family lived near a train track and
I would sneak them in my grandpa’s
car for rest, sharing what food I could
find. Imagine doing that nowadays.

PCT: What would you most like to be
remembered for?
RD: Being optimistic and happy.
PCT: What is your favorite way to
pay it forward?
RD: Unknown. Love to pay for the
person behind me in fast food lane.
PCT: If you could have lunch with

Parker County Today: How did you
get into your occupation?
RW: I got a job at a law firm and had
intentions of going to law school,
until the attorney that I worked for
told me that law school was a waste
of money, and that I needed to keep
doing what I was doing, being a
paralegal drafting legal documents. I
decided to go back to school, get
another bachelors degree, this time in
paralegal studies, and open an office
that worked with attorneys across the
state, drafting legal documents at a
lower cost than a full-time paralegal.
PCT: What is your favorite novel?
RW: “Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane
Austen.
PCT: What do you do to decompress?
RW: Spend time with my husband
and antique shopping. There’s some-
thing about the smell of the old stores
and the junk inside them that soothes
my soul.
PCT: What is something people don’t
know about you?
RW: My ability to play the saxophone
helped start my college career.
PCT: What would you most like to be
remembered for?
RW: I love helping people, espe-
cially our country’s veterans and first
responders. I hope that in my lifetime
I can make a difference in the life of
one of them.
PCT: What’s your favorite way to pay
it forward?
RW: My job allows me a flexible
schedule so if I can give my time to
help someone, I’ll do it. I also love
doing pro bono work with attorneys
who are helping those who can’t
afford legal representation.
PCT: If you could have lunch with
anyone, living or dead in history,
who would it be?
RW: Gary Sinise, because his dedica-
tion to our nation’s military, veterans
and first responders is heroic. I’d love
for him to tell me how I can better
serve my heroes closer to home.
PCT: If you had to do another job
other than what you’re doing, what
would you do?
RW: I would love to run a free legal
