The fact that BackBlaze is rising to be the leader in cloud storage and the reviews were phenomenal when I did an extensive review on the company.
What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?

Anything that brings laughter and smiling. We don’t have enough of that, so it is always has been an essential part in life for me. Life is definitely too short not to enjoy it to the fullest!
Anything else you’d like you’d like to tell us?
I volunteer during the holidays serving the homeless and sometimes during the year. I am always open to taking others along. Hint Hint :-)
