Super Happy Employee Funtime

Here's our team. Some of them were comfortable with me using their real names, most of them were not. None of them were comfortable with me using their real picture, so you'll have to bare with me. The only thing all of them seem to have in common is that they all think this blog is a stupid idea.

Without further ado, our staff.

Name/Position: Tim, Owner, Operator

Bio: Tim was in real estate for ten years when one day he woke up, decided he hated it, and proceeded to get refinance his house so he could start up Jackboot
Turntables fifteen years ago.

Fun Fact: Even though he spends most of his time not smiling and disliking this blog, he's actually a super nice guy. Don't tell him I said that though. He has an image to keep up.

Name/Position: Adelina Malpica, Co-Owner/Marketing Manager

Bio: Adelina is, by far, the nicest person I have ever met. She helps operate the store with Tim and takes care of our PR stuff.  Be warned, don't ever play poker with her. She looks sweet, but she will clean you out.

Fun Fact: When she started here she didn't know anything about old, outdated novelty technological items, but now she owns not one but three laser disc players.

Name/Position: Jordan Morrison, General Manager

Bio: I do a lot of delegating and I'm recently been promoted to "Director of Social Media But You're Not Getting Paid Any More Than Before." So that's exciting.

Fun Fact: I didn't start the fire. It was always burn since the world's been turning.

Name/Position: Shi Geng, Sales Representative

Bio: Shi is a third year student at the University of Iowa. He is fantastic at English and also speaks Spanish and a little bit of Russian. He's majoring in Chinese and Spanish and wants to be a UN translator some day.

Fun Fact: Shi is far too talented to be working at Jackboot Turntables.

Name/Position: Jack, Sales Representative

Bio: Jack is a girl and loves it when you call attention to the fact that she does not have a girl's name. (Try it, I dare you.) When I asked for more bio information Jack told me to shove it. Jack is not nice.

Fun Fact: Jack once dented my car backing out in the parking lot. I promised I would never tell that story. I lied.

Name/Position: Frank (aka) The Deepness, Sales Representative

Bio: The Deepness got his nickname from a story I can't tell on an official store blog, even one as laid back as this.

Fun Fact: The Deepness sees all. The Deepness knows.

Name/Position: Kay, Sales Representative


Bio: A technophobe and late adopter, Kay has problems working her microwave sometimes. (Okay, only that one time.) However, if you want to get into a vinyl/mp3 debate with her you probably want to set aside a couple of hours.


Fun Fact: Kay is a nickname and when I threatened to put her real name up here she hit me with a whiffle bat.


Now that you know who we are, I hope the store seems like a fun place to come. We are fun people. Come be fun with us!
