You leap. When you see something you find interesting - you jump in with full force

You don't clock in and out. When there's a fire - you are there with a hose. When there's a win - you are there with a piece of cake. When there is a loss - you rally the team and get to work.

You are responsive. You are available for your team when they need you.

You want to get shit done. Pretty simple :)

You bring passionate, contagious, and vibrant energy.

Good vibes = good momentum - good momentum = good startup.
