Employee Spotlight: Zach Schnackel

At Blue Ion, we realize that our work is a reflection of who we are as individuals and our success is a direct result of all the different personalities, talents, P90x life experiences, and weird senses of humor that each of our employees brings to the table. This diverse group of Husky Lovers dedicated employees is what makes Blue Ion so freaking awesome.  To celebrate these differences, we’re going to be highlighting one employee every week (except last week, because I was on vacation) so you can get to know us a little better and learn what makes us tick. This week’s Employee Spotlight is:

“A descent into utter confusion”

When you were 6 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Brett Favre. Not a thing, a person. I know – creepy.

Being awesome. How cool would it be for someone to say, “That guy… he was pure awesomesauce”

If you could have any super power, what would it be and why? 
The power to believe it’s not butter… because I still can’t tell.

If you were a cupcake, what flavor would you be?
Peanut-Butter Fudge – not because that describes me, just because that’s all I want right now.

What one food do you wish had zero calories? 
Peanut Butter + Nutella (see… there I go again with that, I’m pretty hungry right now)

If you were on death row, what would your last meal be? 
By now in the questionnaire, you probably know.

What is your theme song?
“I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness

If your house was burning down, what’s the one thing you would save?
