- How would you explain your role here at Exsilio to a stranger? **Starts laughing** That is tough! I build web applications for clients that satisfy their business needs.
- What does a typical work day look like for you? A typical work day is heavy programming, about 75% of the day. There is 25% that is research, debugging, meetings, etc. But luckily I am in a position that allows me to still do a lot of hands on development.
- What aspects of your job do you enjoy the most? The biggest thing that I enjoy is being able to learn and work with new technology. It is really cool. Also, I get to work on a team. Solo programming is not fun!

- What makes a great Exsilio employee? Someone who is not selfish with their knowledge and is open to new ideas. Must always be willing to assist your colleague. Yesterday I was out on the floor and one of the other developers asked me about my project. When he found out that I needed help with something, he offered to jump in and help.
- What has been your favorite experience at Exsilio? The holiday party was really fun. It was neat to see everyone dressed up and out of their element.
- What are some of your hobbies/interests outside of work? I like doing fine arts. I paint. My wife and I try to go on mini road trips whenever we can.
- What is your favorite activity to do in the Orange County area? We did the thousand steps in Laguna Beach. It is a crazy workout with a great view at the end!
- Food that you can’t live without? Anything chicken. I really like chicken. My favorite chicken dish is Cajun chicken pasta.
- If you were to plan your dream vacation, where would you be going? I think I would be going to Italy. The history would be great to see in person. We love history.
