Welcome Dave Olson to the Blue Ion Team

We’re excited to welcome the newest member of our Blue Ion development team: Dave Olson.

Dave is a front-end developer AND designer (another unicorn for the Blue Ion team), with an eye for great design, clean code, and of course, plaid shirts. Dave makes his way to us from Charlotte, NC, and is already ensconced in the Charleston lifestyle with his wife and labradoodle Genevieve (separate people).

Per our hazing ritual for all Blue Ion n00bs, Dave took time out from coding to answer these hard-hitting questions so you’ll feel like you know him just as well as we do.
