As Backblaze continues to grow, one thing that runs linearly with our growth is the number of folks we need in support. We believe strongly that people writing in to get a helping hand should be quickly and kindly take care of. To help us with that, we’d like to welcome Zach, our latest Support Tech to the Backblaze team! Lets take a minute to learn a bit more about Zach shall we?<\/p>\n

What is your Backblaze Title?<\/strong>
\nJr. Support Technician<\/p>\n

Where are you originally from? <\/strong>
\nI was born in Pasadena, CA, but I\u2019ve spent most of my life in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to Backblaze?<\/strong>
\nI have a few friends that have been with the company for some time who would do nothing but gush about the respect that Backblaze has for its employees. More than anything I was drawn to the loyalty and faith the company has for its staff.<\/p>\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong>
\nPreviously I have worked support roles for other tech companies as well as general IT and computer hardware repair.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong>
\nSomewhere that I feel I can grow within the company and find success in a role that makes me feel satisfied. Or a touring musician. That would be cool, too.<\/p>\n

Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled? <\/strong>
\nCanada! Everyone was so nice!<\/p>\n

Favorite hobby?<\/strong>
\nIn my spare time I like to write sad songs.<\/p>\n

Of what achievement are you most proud?<\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite singers told me that I have a really nice voice. So I suppose my proudest achievement is being born with a nice voice.<\/p>\n

Star Trek or Star Wars?<\/strong>
\nI cried during Episode VII.<\/p>\n

Coke or Pepsi?<\/strong>
\nCoke, obviously.<\/p>\n

Favorite food?<\/strong>
\nIs bread an acceptable answer?<\/p>\n

Anything else you\u2019d like you\u2019d like to tell us?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m also a big Disney fan like so many other people who work here. \u00af\\_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af<\/p>\n

We certainly do have a lot of Disney fans on staff \u2014 there must be something in the air. Welcome aboard Zach!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
