Matthew Oliver
Matthew has been unbelievable for me. He is someone who will always be in your corner. Truly someone who has the traits of a rhino and just a great, overall dude.
Linda Pham
Linda was so amazing for me. Not only was she awesome to work with but she is also an amazing person. She's someone I admire from afar and email her if I need help.
Ashim Adhikari
From the very first day I interned at Quicken, I marveled and jaw dropped at Ashim's skills. Simply put, I cannot thank this man enough for giving me a chance.
Jeff Parker
Jeff was a great influence who helped me maximize my efficiency while juggling multiple projects under tight constraints and often gave me mentorship on what good design is.
No Dunks
No Dunks has been the clear winner of my favorite podcast to listen to. Love basketball, the comedic laughs, and insights from Skeets, Trey, Tas, and Leigh.
The Steam Room
I love listening to Ernie and Chuck because I get to listen and get educated on the current events going on in the sports world. Most of the time its not even about basketball!
The Lowe Post
Zach Lowe has one of the smartest basketball minds. Brutally honest when it needs to be told and I thoroughly enjoy his viewpoints and knowledge on basketball.
Design Details
I could've put one more sports podcasts but since I'm a designer, I want to share this underrated one. It's really good for someone who is starting out.
Michael Jordan: The Life
I honestly wish this book was over 1000 pages. 720 pages doesn't do enough justice for me now that I have this fascination of MJ after The Last Dance. The start of this book is so good and talks about how the Jordan family originated.
The Water Dancer
I've been a fan of Ta-Nehisi's work and found myself interested in reading one of his latest books after finishing "Between the World and Me". I'm really looking forward to look into it after reading the synopsis and the reviews. I think it's going to really open my mind because of how slavery was being portrayed.
Favorite Sneaker: Jordan Retro X
These specific Jordans just caught my attention from the very first time I laid eyes upon them. 10 was my favorite number growing up and the bottom of the insoles really spoke to me with MJ's accomplishments and what I call his comeback shoe.
Favorite Book: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The reason why POA is my favorite book is because it dug deep in the character morale through the Hogwartz experience. It was like every pixel of magic being explored. My favorite character in POA is Sirius.
Favorite Music: A Tribe Called Quest
I can listen to ATCQ without missing a beat. From their albums like "The Low End Theory" to "Midnight Marauders, The Anthology, and Beats Rhymes & Life", they got me covered 24/7 from designing to jogging in my neighborhood park.
Favorite Fast Food: Chipotle
I'm not a foodie or fancy eater by any means, but what I do love is going to a place like Chipotle. I usually order a chicken burrito bowl with brown rice, fajita veggies, black beans, lettuce, corn, diced tomatoes, and their awesome, spicy chili sauce.
