"CK"
Chief Executive Officer + Co-Founder Corey Kelly
"CK" (short and to the point, like he is)

Corey's name should have been Jack — as in “Jack of All Trades.” It's probably better his parents decided against that one though, since JOAT isn't as cool of a nickname as CK.

Appropriately named or not, Corey's multi-talented knack and vision for helping small businesses (and every single member of #TeamTriton) succeed says so much about who he is. A risk taker that's far smarter than he'll ever admit — which could be an admission in itself right there.

Strengths

  • Seeing the reward over the risk
  • Subscription to Stitch Fix
  • Steel trap memory
  • His revolving style of beer t-shirts
  • Big idea generator

Weaknesses

  • Snickers
  • On-camera interviews
  • Social Media
  • Not working 24/7
  • Clowns
Sparkles
Chief Design Officer + Co-Founder Nick Kelly
Sparkles

You know the guy that is friends with everyone, brings the best beer to the party, wins all your money during a night of poker and you still can't imagine disliking him? No, not Matthew McConaughey . . . close though; we're talking about Nick!

Known around the office for his quick wit and growling stomach, Nick is usually the last to arrive each morning (avoiding breakfast hours) and the last to leave each night. He's like a ninja of sorts — stealthily quiet and staying out of the limelight, hard at work on secret, extremely impactful projects he's busy perfecting before their rollout.

Strengths

  • Gentle criticism
  • His before-work golf game
  • Strategically detailed designs
  • Off the cuff ideas
  • Heck of a listener

Weaknesses

  • Eating breakfast
  • Emails
  • Sitting at the kids table
  • Looking his actual age
  • Rabbit holes
Mashley
VP Client Operations + Partner Matt Ashley
Mashley

If Matt had a spirit animal, no doubt it'd be a golden retriever: always excited, always loyal, and always ready to hype you up to be in a similar mood. They desire to get along well with others (including strangers), have an endearing love of life, and eagerly pursue compromise when conflicts come up. Now that's Matt!

Always willing to go the extra mile to make sure our clients — even those he hasn't met yet — are taken care of and feel our team's excitement and commitment to their success. He loves learning about our clients almost as much as they know about themselves, then telling everyone he can about the cool products or unique services they offer!

Strengths

  • Talking
  • Product hypeman
  • Shop talk
  • Offering solutions
  • Getting distracted

Weaknesses

  • Processes
  • Squirrel moments
  • Crashing drones
  • Lists
  • Not talking about cars
Office Mom
Chief Operations Officer Caryn Butler
Office Mom

Need a sounding board? An event planned? A pep talk? A raise or a snack? Caryn is all that, and a bag of chips (literally . . . probably all while she's drinking a Pepsi and singing 80's R&B). Her ability to thrive with a jam-packed schedule is the perfect foundation for all she does on the daily for #TeamTriton, and our clients too!

Never at a loss for words or solutions, Caryn is a walking billboard promoting all the people, places, and things she loves. Just make sure she's had her morning coffee — specifically from Caribou — before you get her going.

Strengths

  • Food photography on Instagram
  • Corralling the troops
  • Talking loudly
  • Celebrating even louder
  • Promoting others' strengths

Weaknesses

  • Bloedow's Donuts
  • Whispering
  • Whip added to her mocha
  • Not helping everyone
  • Sitting still
Shi Town
Director of Marketing & Strategy Shianne VerNess
Shi Town

A natural born salesperson who craved adding marketing (and sugar) to the mix, Shianne excelled at taste testing most of the lemonade at her neighborhood stand while charging variable rates to her paying customers.

To this day, sweets are still her weakness — while creating a variety of custom strategies and solutions for our paying customers is one of her strengths we can't get enough of. Even if we have to feed her more than a dozen donuts and bags full of candy along the way!

Strengths

  • Crossing “t”s, dotting “i”s
  • Four letter words
  • Donuts
  • Thinking outside the box
  • RBF

Weaknesses

  • Hiding her feelings
  • Not eating candy
  • Clutter
  • Shipping trade show collateral
  • Talking about football
Happy
Content Specialist Amanda Happy
Happy

Even if you didn't know Amanda's middle name is Joy, or her last name is Happy — after spending even 5 minutes with her, you're bound to know why both are a perfect fit. Backed by her captivating smile and ongoing curiosity for life (and our clients' businesses), she's a bundle of joy . . . pun intended.

In all seriousness, providing clients with high-performing SEO-optimized content that generates the leads they need to build their business does make her happy. When you're happy, she's happy. It's all in the name.

  • Being happy
  • Creating houseplant jungles
  • Utilizing precise diction
  • Solving content crises

Weaknesses

Tuney
Front End Developer Andrew Midthun
Tuney

Passionate about all things related to web development and dogs, Andrew's perfect day starts with a strong coffee, leads into coding & developing sites, devouring Cajun Chicken Pasta for lunch, and spending time with his small dachshund Ollie outside in the evening!

While he lives and breathes technology professionally, he thrives outside of the office spending time with his family, friends, and of course Ollie too.

Strengths

  • Googling
  • Drinking coffee like a champ
  • Practically a pro disc golf player
  • Dogs
  • Tackling challenges

Weaknesses

  • Sitting in one place
  • Taking pictures

Charlie Hustle
Front End Developer Brandon Kemboi
Charlie Hustle

Brandon is a self-taught Web Developer with a passion for problem solving and creativity. Self-driven because of his love for web development and what he can do with it in the future, he's known to get into the zone at his desk and be unreachable behind his ever-present headphones.

Properly nicknamed “Charlie Hustle”, Brandon goes the extra mile to accomplish his goals, only stopping to look for what could be his next great challenge along the way!

Strengths

  • Taking on new challenges
  • Problem solving
  • Madden
  • Missing an important 3-PT shot

Mittens
Graphic + Web Designer Chelsea Krings
Mittens

It doesn't take long to feel the positivity and energy radiating off of Chelsea. A self-described introverted extrovert, she injects her enthusiasm for life into every website design and photography shoot she's leading. Don't let her quirkiness fool you . . . she's incredible at taking a vision and bringing it to life in a way that will have you wondering how'd she do that?

When Chelsea's not indulging in the occasional scoop of Blue Moon ice cream or having a slice of pie for breakfast as a natural in the kitchen, she's often teasing our team with wafts of leftovers she's warming up in the microwave. Bon appetit!

  • Design versatility
  • Keeping houseplants alive

Weaknesses

  • Never being warm

Clark the Shark
Senior Content Specialist Evan Clark
Clark the Shark

It's safe to assume that when Benjamin Franklin said “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing,” he was directing that quote specifically to Evan. A man of many words — both written and spoken as smoothly as if the narrator were Matthew McConaughey.

Having escaped the cornstalk-clutches of Iowa, Evan's coolness continues to ooze outside the office walls as he tours the area playing in bands, producing podcasts, and providing voice-over narration for the everyday trials and tribulations of his dog Tegan.

Strengths

  • Stringing together ingenious sentences
  • Typing faster than humanly possible
  • Watching Lifetime movies without blinking
  • Impersonating Billy Corgan
  • Dropping smartphones on the ground

Papa Georgio
Business Development Specialist George Getsch
Papa Georgio 20 Years of Experience

Always up for a challenge, George is a big Minnesota sports fan, especially the Vikings and Timberwolves . . . which we all know can be extremely challenging at times. He thrives in helping solve problems and outlining solutions.

George's big heart and can't-sit-still attribute is an asset for #TeamTriton — it keeps him determined to help a record number of businesses grow their results and online presence. Outside of the office, George loves spending time with his family boating, skiing, fishing, and traveling.

Strengths

  • Client satisfaction
  • Not getting up during a Marvel movie
  • Problem solving

  • Dealing with Minnesota weather

Pep Squad Captain
Creative Director Jace Bresina
Pep Squad Captain

If Triton had a mascot, there's no doubt who it'd be tailor made for: Jace! Full of passion for our company and our clients, he'd be the first in line to get a Triton tattoo — temporary of course, because you gotta draw the line somewhere. A self-taught web and graphic designer since Middle School, Jace made a full-fledged career out of what he once thought could only be a “hobby.”

When asked about his hobbies, family, and passions he naturally responded, “I really just love life and everything about it!” How can you not want a guy like Jace filling your office and Google Hangouts? He's a team player and a full-on jokester.

Strengths

  • Dad jokes
  • Creatively being creative
  • Themed office potlucks
  • Sports + Wrasslin' talk
  • Triton apparel model

Weaknesses

  • Dad jokes
  • GB Packers fan
  • Chocolate cake
  • Apple products
  • Chili cookoffs
Murr
Digital Marketing Specialist James Murray
Murr 10 Years of Experience

Talk about an oxymoron of a career: James started out in digital marketing curating product descriptions for a website that sold furniture for the Amish. While the Amish are known for simplicity and never-changing traditions, James relished the constant changes of digital marketing!

Sometimes up for a good time in downtown Fort Collins, he's more regularly found hiking through the incredible landscapes and nature in the area. A dad of three who's extremely passionate about making and listening to music, he's bound to break out in embarrassing renditions of Rolling Stones songs whenever he has the chance.

Strengths

  • Eating ALL of the bacon and eggs you have
  • Clearing a path in the woods
  • A mean grilled cheese sandwich
  • Pulling a muscle attempting a cartwheel
  • Data analysis

Weaknesses

  • Bacon
  • Having all the tabs open
  • Making tiny bits of music
  • Did we mention bacon yet?
  • Trying to do too many things at once
Skittles
Senior Search Marketing Analyst Jared Wilaby
Skittles

You know the scenes in action movies where some tech-savvy savant hacks into the mainframe so Tom Cruise can save the world? That's pretty much what Jared does daily, except instead of hacking mainframes, he's researching keywords and performance analytics to boost our clients' online visibility. Still cool, right?

When he's not crunching numbers and processing data, you'll probably find Jared basking in the great outdoors with his family — and refusing to share his plethora of junk food and snacks with his coworkers.

Strengths

  • Analyzing and adjusting
  • Body by junk food
  • Navigation
  • Cooking Minute Rice in 56 seconds
  • Graphic tee collection

Weaknesses

  • Sharing his Skittles or Gardettos
  • Collared shirts
  • Texting back
  • Home Depot lumber aisle
  • Drawing
Uriah
Web Developer Ken Suarez
Uriah

Since the early days of Triton Commerce, we knew it'd be important to find employees talented in multiple aspects of web design, including front and back end development. Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce a man who has been all that and more since joining #TeamTriton in 2012: Ken! The man, the myth, the legend — he brings the designs of our clients to life.

Never one for turning down an adventure, Ken spends his time outside of the office exploring the nature surrounding him as he chases the landscapes of the Philippines — capturing his expeditions with a GoPro fixed to his mountain bike, scuba gear, motorcycle and more!

Strengths

  • Adrenaline junkie
  • Wearer of many hats
  • Web design + development skills
  • Work-life balance
  • Drone pilot

Weaknesses

  • Slow pokes

Mo
Search Marketing Analyst Muawan Her
Mo

Minnesota born and raised, Mo graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with experience in digital marketing already under his belt. Passionate about paid and search marketing, he's been immersed in coordinating the success of small businesses through online marketing.

When he's not analyzing the strategies and success of #TeamTriton's clients, be on the lookout for Mo at area concerts or sporting events for the Vikings and Timberwolves. Known for being the best dressed regardless of his surroundings, Mo loves meetings where he can show off his OOTD.

Strengths

  • Learning fast from mistakes
  • Dressing up
  • Hunger for knowledge
  • Playing instruments
  • Dependable

Weaknesses

Braxx
Search Marketing Analyst Nimrod Calotes
Braxx

As one of the original employees of Triton Commerce, there aren't many roles Nimrod hasn't held himself or directly affected with his day-to-day knowledge and skills. Always willing to jump into a project, he's used his web and marketing experience to find solutions for many of our customers, especially in search marketing.

Don't let Nimrod's tougher stance in his headshots fool you: he's quite the softie when it comes to doting on his family — especially in the kitchen. His Filipino cooking skills put a grin on his family's faces, particularly his Filipino-style Adobo, which he's still promising to cook in the office “someday soon.”

Strengths

  • Hulk-like search marketing skills
  • Creative cuisines
  • Living on the edge
  • New adventures
  • Embracing his role as husband + dad

Glorified Babysitter
Senior Account Manager Tiffany Losselyong
Glorified Babysitter

Growing up, we all remember our favorite babysitter — the fun one, the cool one, the one that makes even the worst chore seem like a really good time. Tif's that babysitter!

Could be her bubbly personality, her sweet way of asking (even on the 17th request in a row), or how she brings your favorite treats in when you least expect them. She's definitely the one you don't want to let down and risk getting added to her “do not answer” list.

Strengths

  • Staying on task
  • Harlem Globetrotters superfan
  • Running Triton's Florida office
  • Hawaii Poke Bowl tour guide
  • Pestering CK about a task

Weaknesses

VK
Project Specialist Vlad Kosmala
VK

With ever-growing knowledge and skills as silent and stealth as a ninja, Vlad has been part of Corey and Nick's companies as far back as 20 years ago. A man of few words (except on the topic of Star Wars), he prefers to let his top-notch quality and speed of work do the talking.

A true team player, Vlad is the first to offer to jump in and help with projects across all divisions of Triton. His can-do attitude mirrors a quote spoken by none other than Grand Jedi Master Yoda: “No! Try not! Do or do not, there is no try.”

Strengths

  • Attention to detail
  • Getting things done really fast
  • Dynamic work environment adaption
  • Star Wars trivia
  • 'Most experienced' guy in the company
