You may know us as your “designer” or “web site developer” and we are! But our all-star team is also so much more with all sorts of fun facts to share about ourselves! That’s why, every month we share some fun facts about our amazing team members. This month, we’re sharing a few fun tidbits about SEO expert, Andrew Levine.
1. What was your first job?
I drove a tractor that picked up golf balls on a driving range. I was essentially paid to be a moving target.
2. What’s your favorite thing about Google?
I love that the name Google comes from “googolplex”, a number so huge that in order to write it out, it would take a book with more than the combined mass of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. That’s some A-1, super deluxe nerd reference going on there and I dig it “infinitely” (which is to say I dig it even more than a googolplex).
3. Do you have a favorite quote?
My father told me, “Marry the person who offends you the least.” While it’s not the most romantic of sentiments, it actually makes a whole lot of practical sense.
4. Where’s your favorite place to travel?
The Isle of Pines, New Caledonia. It’s a tiny spec in the South Pacific. It’s that tropical paradise you’re probably imagining but replace all of the palm trees with pine trees. The beach is so ancient that the sand is as fine a flour. The island is surrounded by a reef, so there are virtually no waves in the crystal clear water. I proposed there to the woman who offends me the least.
5. Tell us about the fun things you like to do in your free time!
I play ukulele and harmonica… sometimes at the same time. If I could strap a drum to my back and cymbals between my knees, I may really have something.
6. What are your goals for 2022?
I will be releasing a narrative podcast (an “audio drama”, if you will) that I wrote for a family audience. It’s about two otters who save Earth from aliens who know everything except how to play. It’s called “Otter Space”. Look out for it this Spring/Summer.
