If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future?

  • Neither, I’d throw it away. The idea of time travel is terrifying to me.

What is your favorite thing about your career?

  • When I’m interviewing a user and I find out that they use a product completely differently than how I expected they would

Would you rather have a home on the beach or in the mountains?

  • Beach. ☀️ + 🏄‍♂️ = 😊

What was your favorite game as a child?

  • Mouse Trap. The board game, not the household appliance (just incase that’s not clear).

If you could visit one place on Earth where would you go?

If you could own any three cars what would they be?

  • A baby blue Toyota 4Runner, a Tesla, and a small RV with a bathroom (or an A frame camper for the Toyota)

If you were a superhero what powers would you have?

  • Teleportation with a buddy.

Which is more important, truth or happiness?

  • Happiness is not real if it’s not based in the truth. Truth eventually will lead to peace, peace is happy

If you could be trained up in any profession of your choice by top professionals, what profession would you choose?

  • Design is an obvious choice, so I’d say copywriting or sales. I think the ability to predict a customer’s needs and deliver is crucial to any design professional

What motivates you to work hard?

  • Honestly, deadlines. But if I’m passionate about something I can work like crazy and the problem becomes balance and setting boundaries

What makes you laugh the most?

  • My father. He is the funniest person I know and he never tries to be.

Would you rather win the lottery or work at the perfect job? And why?

  • Perfect job, any day. I believe the meaning of life is meaning, and I derive a lot of that meaning from my work.
