For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice. We\u2019re very proud to feature Troy Tessalone (crowdSPRING username: TroyTess) today.Troy lives and works in Redondo Beach, CA. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hello world!\u00a0 Troy Tessalone here.\u00a0 I\u2019m a creative who participates in Writing projects on crowdSPRING, or in other words I primarily name stuff.\u00a0 As a 24 year old, I\u2019m nearing my quarter century age crisis.\u00a0 I was born and raised in the South Bay area of Southern California, which is also where I currently live and work.\u00a0 The South Bay is a group of beach cities about 30 minutes to an hour (depending on traffic) southwest of downtown Los Angeles.\u00a0 In May 2008, I earned my B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from the University of Southern California (USC), where I also took some Information Technology courses like how to build a website.\u00a0 Needless to say, I\u2019m a USC Trojan, tried and true.\u00a0 By day, I work for an online advertising company, where I\u2019m a Web Production Analyst.\u00a0 That\u2019s geek speak for saying I work on the technical side of the business interfacing with systems and dealing with a lot of data.\u00a0 I consider myself a social media junkie and someone who keeps up with technology.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather be busy than bored, so I\u2019m always looking for ways to be immersed in the world around me and enjoy what life has to offer.\u00a0 I believe everyone is a product of their environment and I\u2019m certainly no exception.\u00a0 \u201cStay Hungry. Stay Foolish.\u201d is the motto I live my life by.\u00a0 I came across that quote while reading the graduation speech Steve Jobs gave at Stanford in 2005.\u00a0 That quote immediately struck a cord with me and I\u2019ve strived to live my life based upon it ever since."}
