1) I majored in: Mathematics and Computer Science.
2) I'm most well-known for: Blow-drying my hair daily, co-founding LivingSocial.
3) How did I end up in DC? Osmosis: I went to college nearby and landed my first job in DC. I considered moving to NYC or SF several times, but DC has its hooks in me now.
4) When I'm not "Living Social" I’m: Mostly excessive daydreaming... err I mean engaging in creative visualization.
5) One thing about me few people know: I gained about 80lbs as an undergrad. I was extremely skinny in high school.
6) If I were a super hero, I'd be: The Six Million Dollar Man, although I'm not sure $6M USD gets you very far in 2009.
7) The thing I love most about my job is: Working with a group of friends I trust and respect, none of which I wish would be fired.
8) Website worth checking out: http://failblog.org/
9) Best candy: Candy is for children and the infirm.
10) Unforgettable trip: The 24-hour last-minute trip to Las Vegas with Aaron Batalion (LivingSocial) and Dan Birdwhistell (SocialCash). Dan managed the entire trip - including flights - without valid government issued ID. I can't really go into other details here, but ask me about it after a few bourbons.
11) Favorite Facebook app: The Developer application - many of my most prized possessions live there.
12) 3 gadgets I can't function without: iPhone, Macbook Pro, Shure SE420 earphones. If you're still using the stock iPod earbuds, you're ruining your quality of life.
13) My future plans include: Strangely enough, I haven't been spending much time fantasizing about future personal plans. I think this means that I finally have my hands full in the present!
14) In 2007 I: developed severe eye strain launching RevolutionHealth.com, created Visual Bookshelf, and co-founded LivingSocial. 2007 took 15 years off of my life.
15) In 2008: I built a ton of Facebook apps, worked to raise our Series A, moved from Georgetown to Dupont, cultivated LivingSocial, and met lots of new colleagues and friends.
16) In 2009: I will wake up with a champagne hangover, no doubt.
