Eric Nordberg
Director of Internet Services
Hired: May 2000
Background:
Eric grew up in near-by Brooklyn Park. His parents still live there, but his older brother works overseas with the Foreign Service, while his younger sister is a banker.
Education:
- North Hennepin Community College
- University of Minnesota, Morris: B.A. in Mathematics
- Texas A&M: Masters in mathematical logic
Work experiences:
Lots of odd jobs for years: circus cotton candy hawker, mortgage adjuster, gas station clerk and carpentry; but most of the last decade has been spent making web applications.
Right-brained, too:
To compliment all that math, Eric also enjoys most forms of art, including painting, drawing, creative writing and playing the guitar.
Proudest moment:
It was formerly a tie between when he won a creative writing award and when he lost a talent show, but now it's his wedding day, hands down.
Modus Operandi:
Eric develops nearly all of his applications completely in his head before setting them to the screen.
Factoid:
Once Eric ate a 1.5 lb. hamburger, which inspired him to become a vegetarian. He's since returned to eating meat, but in smaller quantities. He enjoys cooking and sometimes brings in goodies for the coworkers.
