All music. Anything that hits me right. From Jazz and classical, R&B to old country ballads to rock and Reggae to HipHop, etc. Indie rock all the time.
Food & Drink
Tacos. Thai, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Indian, you name it. Anything my wife makes. The only food I dislike is celery.
Best Part of My Job
My colleagues, 100%. It’s the reason I sought out working here in the first place. I promised myself I’d only work with good people going forward. And now I am. Working from home is pretty killer too.
