Meet team radish.
We are proud of our people; they make radish better.
Welcome to the radish team.
Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Barb Gay, and I've had the privilege of being part of this company for over 42+ years.
I began my journey at Watson in 1984 as a receptionist, and in 2003 I had the honor of becoming its owner. My passion for business took root from a high school accounting class…to joining Watson and eventually learning every single role within the company. And I mean every role.
Our story so far.
Sharing our story is important - it shows our focus, dedication, knowledge and experience. We are that reliable pair of hands needed for you, your business and all your money needs.
Our radish team

Barb
Chief radish
Every day starts with my “List of Six” the six things that matter most. I check them off, move things forward, and keep the chaos in check.
If I weren’t running radish, I’d probably be teaching or coaching helping people get it, not just get through it.
I’m a straight talker. Always have been. You’ll know where you stand, and that’s exactly how I like it
