What project or goal that you have worked on are you most proud of?
At a previous job, I negotiated the purchase of Guardian Industries' auto glass operations in Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC. I was responsible for handling the details of the transaction which led to acquiring the business at a substantial discount off the market value of the underlying assets. It effectively doubled our business and made Wholesale Glass the dominant player in the NC, SC, and GA markets, and I am proud of the role I played in making that happen.
What TV or movie character would you be if you could choose?
I don't idolize TV/Movie characters. Real life is enough for me.
What is the funniest thing that has happened at Website Pipeline?
Watching Ted try to ride the hoverboard.
What programming languages are you fluent in?
Several. But mostly non practicing.
Have you won any Website Pipeline awards?
Yes. I won Honor Roll status last year.
Which college(s) did you attend?
I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University.
What's your favorite thing to watch on TV?
The following movies are my favorite:
Shantaram, Shogun, The Fountain Head, and The Big Lebowski. I like the adventure, the action, and the principles of the characters. Lebowski also reminds me of college - it was one of the go-to movies that we watched.
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go, and who would you take with you?
I'm going a few places I've always wanted to go this year - camping with friends in Yosemite National Park, and a trip to Ireland and Scotland with my family.

Definitely coffee. I am an addict.
