Meet Carl D'Amico, Sales Engineer

 

Carl D'Amico is one of the latest additions to the FastServers.Net Sales Team. Carl's previous job was with the Chicago Shamrox, a new professional Lacrosse team in Chicago that began in 2006. He says his job duties included a little bit of everything. "I did a multitude of things while working for the Shamrox," said Carl. "I called prospective clients, pushed new ticket sales, managed merchandise orders and inventory, provided customer service during the games, and much more. It was an exciting experience, especially since I'm a huge fan of the Shamrox," he said. Is Carl another sports fanatic like most other FastServers.Net employees?

Carl is a major sports fanatic. His two favorite teams are, of course, Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bears. What other professional sports teams would a native of Chicago choose? Carl is one of those sports fans who can name off all the players including his favorites such as Gordon, Nocioni, Duhon, representing the Bulls basketball team; Urlacher, Kruetz, Jones and Gould, representing "Da Bears" football team. He even claims Scott Skiles, the Bulls head coach, has a certain way of getting the team to play at top-notch levels. "I think coach Skiles is one of the best basketball coaches of all time," he said. "He is certainly at the top of my list for coaches that deserve a winning team like the Chicago Bulls."

Road trips are something Carl enjoys doing on weekends with his friends, a radical car, some classic rock tunes, and a loud stereo. After Carl has traveled major highways in the USA, he has plans to tour Europe and China. At least those are two places he dreams of visiting one day. We asked Carl which car is his favorite to travel the highways of America in, but his response was a little more than what we bargained. "So far I haven't gone anywhere too exciting, therefore, I don't have a particular car that I like to travel in when I'm on the road. However, one day I want to get the fastest car I can find and really hit the streets, spinning tires, and burning rubber," he said. "If it's not fast enough, I'll make it go faster."

Carl is a fan of old school rock music. His genre of music is straight out of the 70s and includes popular icons of the decade. "My favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and others out of that era," said Carl. "Nothing beats playing the radio as loud as the human ear can stand while listening to the greatest bands of rock'n roll. Whether you're in a car, a home, or sitting at your desk, turn up the radio and play your favorite music. Let the guitar and drums get you moving. There's nothing like it." Right on Carl. Music, great bands, whatever beats get you going, we definitely think it's cool.

Working at FastServers.Net has truly been an incredible experience for Carl. Although he's one of the newest members of the team, he says the free lunch on Wednesday is a great way to reward employees. "I get to save money and be rewarded with a free lunch. Every Wednesday we have the opportunity to enjoy good food and fun with people we work with everyday," he said. "Wednesdays are my favorite around here. It's not just the free lunch, but everything I've worked hard to achieve from the beginning of the week starts to build up, making it easy to work better, faster and more efficient throughout the remainder of the week." This seems to be a common agreement among FastServers.Net employees. Could it be the free lunches or is this just a fantastic place to work? Well, actually it's both a fantastic place to work and the free lunches.
