Before working at SharpNet, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’d ever had?

C: I worked in the jewelry industry for a long time and was able to wear a lot of hats, including CAD design. Helping clients design engagement rings was really rewarding and interesting.

How did you first learn about SharpNet?

C: I was a client of SharpNet! I was looking for someone to handle SEO for my company and found SharpNet. Obviously, I was a fan of their work. I was excited to see a position open when I was looking for a new opportunity.

How do you balance your career at SharpNet and your free time?

If you could pick one theme for SharpNet to turn into a book about the company, what would it be?

C: We’re a pirate ship! Chris is the captain. Margie is the quartermaster. PPC are the navigators, with all the data and charts. SEO is manning the sails, keeping the ship moving forward. Content is the sailmakers, skillfully sewing new sails and mending the tears. Social team is the gunners, targeting with precision. Web design is the shipwrights, mending any leaks and keeping the ship seaworthy.

Any random facts you could share?

If you could be any force of nature, what would it be?

C: Water. It can be peaceful, but it is also an extremely powerful force.
