Team Member Spotlight: Kirk Bowman—THE Peak WVU Fan & Multi-Instrumentalist

WhatConverts isn't just a product—it's a team. And without that team, we know we'd be nowhere.

That's why each month, we recognize one team member who's gone above and beyond in their role, and we share a little bit about who they are and what makes them so integral to WhatConverts. (They also get a bit of free swag from our merch store!)

This month, our spotlight employee is Kirk Bowman, Technical Support Engineer.

Tell us a little about your career path.

How did you first get into the SaaS or tech industry, or what led you to WhatConverts?

I used to be a front-end developer at my old job at a SaaS-based company, developing cloud-based software for manufacturing. What led me to WhatConverts was I wanted something where I could be customer-facing and help with their needs while still maintaining a technical role.

What do you enjoy most about your role at WhatConverts?

Is there something unique about working on our team that you find exciting?

Helping our awesome customers and working with a team of like-minded and driven individuals on a daily basis makes me push myself harder to keep striving to provide the best support for our customers.

What’s one project or achievement at WhatConverts that you’re particularly proud of?

This could be a specific individual contribution, a customer success story, or a team accomplishment.

We landed a big ICP customer in 2023 who had a 250+ step internal call tree setup and wanted to migrate it over to WhatConverts. (It would have been a deal breaker for them if we couldn’t.) They trusted me with their product, gave me what they wanted over email, and I built it for them utilizing our Call Flows feature. They were pleased with the new Call Flow and use it to this day.

How do you like to unwind after a busy day in the world of SaaS?

Tell us what you like to do, and how you maintain work-life balance.

When I’m not running my 2 sons around from baseball practice and other kids' activities, I like to hang out with my family and play some video games once everyone has gone to sleep.

What’s a fun fact about you that your colleagues might not know?

It can be anything—from an interesting fact, to a hidden talent, to quirky hobbies.

I play 6 different instruments.

If you could instantly learn one skill (personal or professional), what would it be?

Perhaps you want to code like a pro, master the art of PPC, or pick up a non-work-related hobby?

Become a professional stock trader on Wall Street.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?

This can be work-related (like a tool or trend) or something personal (foods, pets, places, TV shows - anything!).

I am big on golf, poker, and shooting guns at the moment.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received, professionally or personally?

How has this advice helped shape your life or your career?

“As long as you are trying, you are getting better” - My Grandfather

You’re given the chance to win $5 million, but you have to beat 100 people at a single task. You can choose the task—what would it be and why do you think you’d win?

(This is a great opportunity to highlight a unique skill, or stead-fast know-how!)

Talking about how much I hate Pittsburg University in football. (I am a die-hard WVU fan.)
