“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.” – Aristotle
Life’s Golden Rascal award is an exciting way to recognize employees at the Life Corporate Office. We are excited to feature an interview with Golden Rascal Award winner, Kevin Bubacz!
“Kevin is the perfect example of a hungry student! Kevin’s daily persistence and hard work plays a critical role in Life’s technology efforts and success.” – Martin Spusta (Director of IT)
First of all, tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Kevin Bubacz. I’m 29 years old and from Cary, North Carolina.
How did you land your position with Life Corporate?
I applied to a web development intern position that I heard it about from one of my professors at Wake Tech. I was thrilled when I was offered the position and accepted immediately as I was still in school with no professional experience and was eager to get into the industry.
How long have you been with Life and what is your current role with the company?
I’ve been with Life for almost three years now (I started in October of 2016). I work in the IT department and I’m currently a junior developer with a focus on the front end development of the Life website and app.
What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is that I get to create things that add value to thousands of people’s lives on a daily basis.
Do you have a favorite book or product in the Life portfolio?
The Financial Fitness Program is my favorite. Financial literacy is very important to me and I always learn something new and useful when I listen to the audios.
What are you most looking forward to with Life in the next 5 years?
I’m looking forward to watching this company continue to grow. It never gets old hearing and reading the heartwarming testimonials from our members as we roll out new products, and new customers just discovering the materials.
What would you say is your lifelong passion?
Overall, my lifelong passion is learning. I like to read books and listen to podcasts about all types of subjects. I also play bar trivia on a weekly basis and have a couple dozen jeopardy episodes in my DVR queue at all times, so the random general knowledge also comes in handy there!
Who inspires you?
My fiancé, Tricia. She inspires me to keep moving forward and to be a better person every day.
Tell us about one of your most embarrassing experiences.
Running over and crushing two of the driveway lights the first time I backed out of my soon-to-be-in-laws’ driveway while everyone watched.
Do you have a favorite quote?
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.” -Vince Lombardi
What do you enjoy doing when you aren’t working?
I enjoy drumming, painting, grilling, and trivia.
Life is so proud to have someone as hard-working and dedicated in as Kevin Bubacz in IT! Congratulations!

Hey Kevin,
So proud you are part of the LIFE community. We really appreciate all you do. I talked with Chris Brady in January Major Convention and he said how different the (Craypay) then current people were compared to the LIFE office team. Thank you so much for all you do. We really need you and appreciate you!
