Rennen

Chief Wellness Officer & Stuffy Logistics Coordinator
Rennen serves as the CWO at Day One Law, where he takes his supervisory (or rather, stupervisory) responsibilities very seriously, usually from the comfort of the office couch or beneath a desk. He’s (begrudgingly) an early riser who enjoys morning runs with dad, followed by full-day shifts of monitoring firm operations, wrangling his favorite stuffies (Raccoon, Dragoon, Ms. Gator, and the occasional sock), and strictly enforcing office fun policies. When not (poorly) hunting lizards, Rennen ensures the Day One team stays grounded and entertained.
