What was your first job?

Dishwasher at Sbarro's in the mall. It was short-lived (3 days). Ah, high school. My first job that actually got held down for more than a week was as a stage-hand at 328 Performance Hall, a music venue in Nashville. It was fun work, the pay was good (for what it was) and I got to go to all the shows I wanted for free.

How would you describe your time at 1066 Propaganda?

Variety is the blessing and the curse of working as an independent contractor. During the time I ran 1066 Propaganda I had to wear just about every hat imaginable at one point or another.

Robby rocks. That about sums it up. Oh, you want to know more? Robby is a talented technologist, a great designer and works his ass off. He's been an asset on every project I've ever seen him on. If he ever leaves his current job I'm hoping to hire him, and if anybody else beats me to it I'm gonna be mad.
