About

Larry joined the company just two days after relocating to the US from Germany. So he knows a thing or two about adapting to changing environments. Which probably accounts for our continued growth under his watch. Managing a successful company and cultivating its ongoing development and enhancement takes serious dedication and drive – two words that exemplify Larry’s work ethic. Which is good. Because in this line of work that means impressive and unsurpassed results for our clients.

Before assuming the role of president and CEO, Larry was instrumental in implementing the IT infrastructure and systems that would become the foundation of the company’s comprehensive digital processes and later, the online client portal. Unfortunately, none of this has helped to improve his golf game. But true to his nature, he will never stop trying.

You can’t be the best litigation services company without understanding the business of law. Christina recognizes that it is essential that RDS’ clients receive accurate records as quickly and easily as possible. She’s constantly working on ways to innovate and improve RDS’s overall service and to ensure that RDS performs as an industry leader.

Christina also has an impressive and varied background, including working on the startup of a gourmet food and wine festival (not a bad gig), a successful career in advertising, and supporting major new business initiatives across multiple industries.

Christina is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, Association of Defense Trial Counsel (ADTC), Michigan Defense Trial Counsel (MDTC), and the Detroit Bar Association. She holds a BA in Philosophy from Wayne State University and a JD from Wake Forest University School of Law.

As you might imagine with credentials like that, she can read and write well. Math however? A slightly different story.

In addition to making sure our database is always updated and accurate, and managing the mail logistics team, Wendy also works on cross-training employees throughout all departments and keeping tabs on quality control.

How does she manage this? Easy. She’s been with RDS for over 30 years. So, it’s safe to say she’s learned a thing or two.

In her free time, Wendy enjoys traveling with her family. And with all she does here? She deserves it.

Manal impresses us more every day. Not only does her extensive knowledge of our business help her to bridge our people with our products, but her background in healthcare privacy and security means that she is vigilant about the confidentiality and security of all documents that we procure on behalf of our clients.

If that weren’t enough, Manal also oversees the accounts receivable and purchasing departments as part of her daily operations. Which means she builds and maintains solid relationships with our clients and vendors.

In August of 2016, Manal successfully completed her Master of Management Degree at Davenport University. We’re proud of her. But not surprised. The long journey she is continuously on to always improve herself through learning new things has become a mainstay of her time with us.

Her favorite quote pretty much sums her up as a teacher and advocate for her fellow employees: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." – Benjamin Franklin

Vicki wears many hats. And wears them well. Her extensive knowledge of both internal processes and the nuances and needs of each client is nothing short of incredible. But not surprising. She’s been with us for over 17 years. And she has been instrumental in being a real leader as we moved from a paper-based model to a digital one.

Outside of work, Vicki enjoys being active, exercising, playing tennis, and visiting her family’s favorite vacation spot on Lake Michigan. Which we think is one of the greatest lakes in the world. But we’re biased.

We may be digital. But we still get mail and need to deliver records to our clients – whether digitally or in paper format. That’s where Mike comes in. With more than 35 years of experience at RDS, Mike’s knowledge of all aspects of the record procurement process gives him the keen ability to assess and efficiently tackle any and all challenges that come his way. He’s also constantly evaluating our existing processes and developing new ways to improve them.

For example, Mike played a key role in managing the planning and rollout of completely digitizing RDS’ record management system, which was instrumental in bringing both status and digital records together in the newly integrated Client Portal.

If Mike's not in the office, he's probably enjoying the outdoors. Most likely somewhere in Northern Michigan.

If you're a client, then you know Karen. And Karen knows you. Maybe from the firm you were at before this one, and probably your dog's name too. We're not sure how she can remember all of this stuff, but she does. What it means for our clients is that in addition to being a friendly person to talk with, Karen knows what you need, maybe before you do, and she has her team of knowledgeable Client Liaison Specialists ready to assist you. After all, she has over 25 years of experience leading teams and building great relationships with clients. Which we think is pretty amazing. When she's not doing all of that, Karen enjoys spending time with her family and spoiling (oops, meant playing with) their dog, Kobe.

A wizard with billing and invoices? Check. Keeping up with our growing list of clients in Illinois? Check. An always available and helpful resource for clients? Check. Somehow, Jessica does it all with grace and aplomb (we’re still trying to figure out how). We’re guessing that it might have something to do with her education and experience: she holds a Certificate in Event Planning (University of Pittsburgh) in addition to a BS in Business and a Certificate in Finance (University of Phoenix). Jessica is a born multitasker who makes handling a formidable workload look easy. Jessica is also a lifelong Detroit Lions fan who takes tailgating and the annual Thanksgiving Day game very seriously – and as anyone from Detroit can tell you, that alone takes commitment and resilience in the face of adversity (THE LIKES OF WHICH FANS OF TEAMS LIKE THE PATRIOTS WILL SIMPLY NEVER KNOW. Ahem. Sorry, that just kind of slipped out.) In all honesty, the Lions would probably have won a Superbowl if they had a team of Jessicas. In addition to being a football mega fan, Jessica also loves to travel – Colorado is one of her favorite recent destinations, and she cannot wait to visit Ireland.
