James started at Backblaze several months ago as a contractor and recently accepted our invitation to join Backblaze as an employee. We hired him not only for his partner management skills, but because he said he would manage the Backblaze softball team. Now all we need is a Backblaze softball team.<\/p>\n
Are you from the Bay Area?<\/strong> Where have you worked before Backblaze?<\/strong> How do you backup your photos, music, data, etc. on your home computer?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since fifth grade and graduated from San Jose State. [Ed: Go Spartans.]<\/p>\n
\nI started my career when I was living in Palo Alto with a good friend of mine who had just joined a recently funded startup a few blocks away from our place. They needed someone to buy Aeron chairs and stock the fridge with organic fruit. I excelled. I\u2019ve also taught English in Korea and done Sales and Partner Management for a couple of startups in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n
\nI use Backblaze to back up my two laptops and an external drive. I was one of the original customers way back when. It works great! I\u2019m hoping they come out with NAS support some time soon.<\/p>\n
