INTERNal Reports

Awesome. The “full-timer”s decided to let ME write a blog! You have NO IDEA how long I’ve been waiting to let my voice be heard. I’ve been interning at Viewzi since the end of May, and I just want to say, I was NOT prepared for what I was getting myself into. Most of the people here are giant, towering, bearded GENIUSES....and the few without beards are just as smart. I’m sure if you’re reading this, you may have already read the profiles for each of my co-workers; however, those bios don’t even scratch the surface of these intimidating powerhouses of internets knowledge.

Since this is the last day of my summer internship, I’m going to leak the TRUTH about the staff at Viewzi (in no particular order)…

Chris Mancini

So far I don’t have too much dirt on Chris just yet, but I know he likes motorcycles, artwork, and his youngest son, aka, “The Dude”, ALREADY knows how to give high fives.

Stephen P. Anderson

In a scenario of “good cop, bad cop”, Stephen would be the good cop. He seems friendly enough, but it’s really all an act to balance out his cantankerous co-workers. May I also mention the emphasis he puts on his middle initial? What DOES the P really stand for?

Aaron Martin

This guy cracks me up...but not only does he crack me up, he cracks his iPhone up.

Steve DeVoll

Since this man is my boss and has been the “critical path” to my paycheck, I will have to refrain from leaking all the dirt about Steve. But just so you know...spell check suggested “devil” in place of DeVoll...coincidence? I’m going to go with “yes”

Travis Isaacs

TRAVIS IS A BULLY. Sometimes he steals my lunch money, and if there were lockers here...he’d probably stuff me in one. You would think he’d all sweet because he just had a (super cute!) baby, but that is FAR from the truth. Next time he calls me a “noob”....I’m going to tell him his BABY is a noob! Ha!

Manoj Pawar

Smart yet stylish. In his office hang all these fancy looking “graphs”, but I think they’re actually just artistic designs to decorate the inside of his office. He doesn’t really “write” on his wipe off board, but more so squiggles on it. This has lead me to believe that Manoj WANTS to express his artistic ability, but is stuck behind a desk programming.

Joshua Stearns

I’ve never really met this guy. I’ve only seen pictures, and I’ve only heard what was supposedly his voice once the speaker phone. For all I know “Joshua Stearns” is a code word for some sort of secret side project...perhaps a Viewzimobile or robotic iron suit?

Nathan Smith

I’m pretty sure Nathan is a gangster. Not in like in a Sopranos way, but like an inner city “50 Cent” way. His Fireworks gang is continuously at war with the Photoshop gang. I hear to get into the gang...you have to kill a man...by creating bad UI....WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.

Nathan Swanson

One of the newer guys on the staff. People keep calling him “Nathan 2” or try to come up with some way to differentiate him from Nathan Smith. I can’t wait till the day he comes in and destroys Nathan Smith (for real...not in Age of Empires II) so I can say “I saw that coming”.

Rob Gungor

I spent TOO MUCH time working with this guy to help find the “features” in his Timeline View before it went live, so you can blame me for it being as awesome as it is now.

Jay Horne

Can you believe this guy? Giving me all sorts of work, and he’s not even my boss. He often reinforces the phrase “Let’s just have the interns do it!” I’ve also noticed he shares an excessive amount of stranger-than-fiction-esqe stories about his past. I’d show you an example, but the censors wouldn’t approve.

A.J. Magnuson

Seems nice enough, in a Bruce Banner way, if you catch my drift. He’s apparently really good with Facebook applications, yet, he hasn’t accepted my friend request? What’s the deal there? Everyone knows you cant really be friends until it’s “Facebook official”.

Giovanni Gallucci

Gio enjoys wearing socks around the office and listening to loud angry teenager music. His office is very stylish in an IKEA furnished way. If you have any stray stickers laying around, please donate them to his “Clean Metallic Casing is Over Rated” Foundation.

Jared Christensen

His excessive design talent is only matched by his excessive height. He’s also mastered the art of “lightning fast witty comments”.

Dawn Yoder

Dawn is the only person I can really trust around here, and we have a few things in common too. I’m not talking about how she went to SMU, or how she’s about the same height as me, I’m talking about the fact that - if we weren’t around, Viewzi would be more like Lewzi....(that made more sense phonetically)

Brandon Cotter (Obsessive telemarketers beware.)

The head honcho himself. Brandon was the first person I met at Viewzi. He made me think that things would be fun and friendly here. I was such a fool to believe him! Normally he’s away on “business trips” having “meetings”. I guess an advantage to him being at the office is that the “Full-timer"s usually have food ordered in, and sometimes they let me eat the leftovers.

Now you can thank me for enlightening you to the cold hard facts about the Viewzi staff....and to think...you could have accidentally befriended one of them. I suggest if you see one of these men on the street, run. Run fast. Run far.
