Popiel, ALMU's Chief Lab Analyst, is a physical fitness enthusiast and competes annually in swim, bike and run competitions. Chief of Utilities Operations Eberle participated in this year’s Ohio/Michigan Tough Mudder team event. They are also part of an ALMU team that has signed up for the Cleveland Bike Challenge, a friendly competition among employer-based teams to see who can log the most bike miles from May 1–Aug. 31. Other ALMU team members are Todd Danielson, Kris Kral, Bernie Bruder, Dale Sadowski, Bobby Kimevski, Jeremy Pijor, and Steve Heimlich.
