-To feed my family I work at [AlumnIQ][iq]. I could say that I'm the "first hire" but, well, _it's complicated_. There were some people before me, but we were operating under a different name at the time. I joined while we were still operating under that name, and at the time I was the only employee other than the solo-founder. During my tenure we started doing business as AlumnIQ[^1], and we currently operate with a team of 6 people. We've always been 100% remote —before COVID-19 made it cool— and we currently span 3 of the 4 (contiguous) US time zones. As for how long and how much I enjoy working at my company, I'll refer you to [[2020/challenge-breeds-stability | my latest work-anniversary entry]].

 [^1]: If you ever get the opportunity to name a product or a company, I would advise you to either not use a [portmanteau][portmanteau] or to make peace with your customers and the general public spelling and pronouncing it wrong constantly. Personally, I wouldn't do it again. Yes, the AlumnIQ name idea was mine. As a portmanteau of "Alumni" and "IQ" it's intended to be pronounced "alumni-queue" with no pause between them.

 Unfortunately, skydiving is a fair-weather sport and the weather isn't always fair. When I can't jump out of airplanes, I can often be found in my basement workshop making furniture out of wood. I document those exploits, to some extent, [on Instagram][insta].
