What is your favorite memory at Switchbox?
Universal Studios work/GGOB trip – really great to get everyone together, and going out and getting dinner. Vegas was also a memorable experience.
The day the wall fell over in the parking lot and crushed a bunch of cars was pretty awesome.
And of course the chili cookoff is always a great time at the office.

Submission grappling – which is a form of ground wrestling. Jujitsu, building custom mechanical keyboards, walks outside, dangling things in front of my cat.
