WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT?
Knowing there are so many design problems to solve, I get so excited about the solutions rolling through my head that I can't sleep!
WHAT KIND OF PERSON SUCCEEDS IN YOUR ROLE AT MARCHEX?
To succeed in my role one has to be thick-skinned, self motivated, curious, enthusiastic, detail-orientated, a problem solver, wants to constantly learn, have fun and have a good sense of humor to boot.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE NOT WORKING?
I am a technical scuba diver/instructor/traveler. If I'm not somewhere in the South Pacific, then I'm mostly likely exploring the Puget Sound.
