What is your job at The Flybook?
I am a Sales Account Manager here at Flybook, primarily connecting with prospects/leads in order to identify opportunities surrounding a businesses reservation technology needs.
Are you local to Bend?
Yes, I live in Bend, which is currently the worst-kept secret in the Pacific Northwest. Far too many Californians. Originally I'm from California and later grew up in Camas, WA and went to Washington State University (Go Cougs.) Someday, my wife & I would love to travel through Europe and Africa.
What are some of your favorite things to do?
I can usually be found out golfing, skiing, patio drinking, enjoying WSU sports, spending time on a lake, or spending time with my family.
How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words?
Funny, Thoughtful, Calm. No need to ask them, this is 100% true, trust me.
What led you to the Flybook?
I was tired of "corporate culture," and wanted to do something where I felt like I could have an impact while having the freedom to have a life outside of work. Being part of a company that values every individual & their personal goals is something that I've found here at Flybook.
What are some of your all-time favorite things to read, watch, or listen to?
The Lord of the Rings is my all-time series of books. For watching, I'd have to say Game of Thrones, South Park, The Wire, and Friday Night Lights would be up there for me. Music is a tough one & I know it sounds like a cop out, but I can find something in any genre & enjoy it... If I had to pick, I would go Dave Matthews, Eminem, Kanye, Taylor Swift (you read that right) and any combo of Slightly Stoopid-Rebelution-Sublime.
What is your favorite feature of the Flybook product?
Our interactive resource, guide, and lodging calendars. They're intuitive, organized, and easy on the eyes.
If you could eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
Tater-Tot Nachos (Tot-Chos)
If you could time travel (to the past or future) what time would you visit?
I'd grab that sports almanac & head back to the future like my boy Marty McFly, Doc, and Biff.
What do you like most about your job?
The people I work with and the daily interactions with people representing a wild variety of businesses.
Any other passions or fun facts to share?
I have an amazing wife, Laura, and a 1 year old son, Cash. We have 2 dogs, Brayton and Riley. Between the 4 of them they take up the majority of my time & I wouldn't have it any other way!
