Interview with Tyler L.

I decided every week I will interview a Trisports.com employee so you can get a feel for the people behind the scenes.  This week we have Tyler L.
 

How long have you worked with the company? 
     I started in the month of April in the warehouse, so 6 months.
How did you hear about Trisports.com?
     My mommy is a sponsored athlete for Trisports.com.  She suggested that  I come work for the company because it is a great work environment.  I looked into it, applied and was hired.
What makes Trisports.com different from your other previous jobs?
     Trisports.com is different because the people I work with are encouraging and friendly.  Since starting with the company I have started to commute on my bike to work and have become more environmentally friendly by recycling more. (And they made me wear a helmet GRRR…..)

What do you look forward to with Trisports.com?
     I look forward to working more with everyone here and doing several races and relays with my co-workers.

Christmas Party 07′

 This year i am really looking forward to the christmas party because last years was awesome!! We began the night by going to Golf N’ Stuff.  We did many fun things such as race carts, laser tag, and of course losing a bunch of balls to the lake. In lazer tag my team decimated the field, took no prisoners and arose victorious.  My go cart race was the worst ever, I had a hard time starting it and then, when I finally started my car, I was lapped by several members if Trisports.com and I started to cry. Then, playing miniature golf, I must have lost at least 6 of their BALLS!!!!   I even almost made a hole in one but, it bounced off the the hole, flew over a wall and then plunged into a green lake. (It was AWESOME!!!!!) 

 After enjoying the night at Golf N’ Snuff we went to a Japanese resturant named Sakura.  This place is fantastic, we all sat around about 5 tables and had our meals prepared right in front of us.  I ordered the Orange Chicken meal, (I love orange chicken. Do you?) and the chef brought out his cart with all the food on it and gave us a show as he cooked it.  He did spatula acrobatics with the food and toss it into peoples mouths, it was TIGHT Boyeeeee!! 

  We then went outside to relax, listen to the jazz band play, and hear Seton roast everyone.  Trisports.com is so great, they gave its employees hand made pens (by Seton himself) and a nice bonus.  We played a joke on Bobby and told the band it was his birthday. They played for him and totally embarressed him.  The best part of the night, for me, was when I was able to play the drums on the jazz band’s drumset. It was a fun drum solo that  I made up on the spot.

 That was a great night and I can’t wait for this year’s.
