The character of an employee is just as important as their talent. This tab is here to answer the all important question: “What’s this guy actually like?”
Below is the skinny on my approach to work and life.
Fun facts:
I’m a big reader and writer both, owning a current edition Oxford English Dictionary, Chicago Manual of Style, and AP Stylebook
I’m a big horror movie fan, practically seen ‘em all
I have a YouTube channel with ~18k subscribers
I cook a mean breakfast and a marginally less-mean dinner
I own all of the Dragon Ball anime as physical media
I have a contact lens prescription of -4.5 (almost legally blind)

Work:
I am a relentlessly efficient force of nature when I set my mind on a task. Be it monotonous media tracking or call-it-as-you-see-it press release drafting, I can handle whatever comes my way with monk-like fortitude. Endurance, true endurance, the ability to like knuckle down and chug things out, is tragically rare in my generation. I have very intentionally cultivated this virtue to stand out amongst my peers. You say jump and I say how high, no complaints. I also keep up with all major PR related publications and awards, to ensure I’m always in the loop.
Leisure:
I’m a humanities man at heart, spending most of my free time reading, watching movies, listening to music, or playing video games (“literature” by some generous estimations). I also co-run a gaming-focused YouTube channel with my best friend since kindergarten, which currently has 18,000+ subscribers and 100,000+ views on multiple videos. Our goal is millions and billions of subscribers, but for now we’re dwelling in the five-figure club. Do make sure to like and subscribe.
