• What were you doing before you landed your job at Tactics?
  • Everything from Archeology and Genetics, to Masonry and Greens Keeping.
    I’ve done it all. Last of which was slinging cocktails and beers to the patrons of Sioux Falls South Dakota.

• Skate, Snowboard or Surf?
  • Do them all poorly and only getting worse as I get old, tired and fragile.

• Are you a student? What are you studying? What did you study in
  the past?
  • 10+ years, 3 different schools and over 320 totals credits to get an
    associates degree! Wouldn’t you be proud to be my folks?

• Other hobbies?
  • Fishing, Settlers of Catan, fantasy sports, and being a sad fan of the New York Mets and Detroit Lions. I could really use a hug.

• Best thing about the NW?
  • The great outdoors, open minded, progressive people and awesome foods.

• Worst thing about the NW?
  • Rain, F-ING RAIN!

• Beverage of choice?
  • Skunky, skunky pilsners. Preferably in a green bottle with a side of whiskey.

• Favorite song/band right now?
  • I’m man enough to admit that for the last year or two I’ve been “Head over Heals” for Tears for Fears and other new wave 80′s trash.
