SmallBoxer since: September 2011

Favorite thing about working at SmallBox? The contributions this team makes to our community!

What do you geek out on? Sports and technology and chips and salsa and true stories.

What would you do if you weren't working at SmallBox? I'd be figuring out a way to tell other people's stories.

When you're not SmallBoxing, you're most likely: spending time mentoring high school students or teaching guitar lessons.

How do you get involved in your community? Three or four times a week, I am spending time mentoring high school students. I teach them guitar lessons, lead them in Bible studies, play sports with them, have meaningful discussions, hang out and just generally invest quality time into their lives.

I believe in: the greater good.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever gotten? You can't do everything for everyone. Do one thing and do one hell of a job at it.

Favorite band: Ryan Adams

Favorite place in Broad Ripple: Brugge

Longest you can go without internet: I've lasted about 5 days before.

What is the meaning of life? To love others.

What's your proudest achievement? Recording an album with four good friends.

Favorite internet meme: Leroooy Jennnnkins

Google/Apple/Facebook/Amazon — which one do you like the most and why? Apple — their stuff just works so seamlessly together.

Google just announced their Knowledge Graph. Not really a surprise since it seems like they were headed that way for a while now...
I think a lot of kids growing up in the 90s were inspired by videogames...
