One word to describe your work environment: Thrilling
Rules to live by in business: Never discount old inventory. I have learned that even if the site doesn't work for this client now, you never know when or whom it will work for.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? Guy Fieri and he can pick the place. I mean we have all seen his shows and he without a doubt has a pretty good knack for good food.
What is your dream job? To be Jeremy Clarkson from the show Top Gear. The guy gets to do and drive whatever he wants, wherever he wants, and always looks the biggest smirk on his face.
