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 Cibi Perez (crowdSPRING username: monsterleo) today. Cibi lives and works in Sheboygan,Wisconsin. 1. Please tell us about yourself. WOW.. an interview! This is a first for me, and I am truly humbled to have been asked by cS to share a little about myself. Thank you cS! So here goes&#8230; My given name is Cibicue Gerardo Perez. But anyone that has met me, calls me by my nickname Cibi (phonetically, it&#8217;s &#8220;see-bee&#8221;). Ok, so after I tell people my name, almost always, like clockwork, comes the inevitable question&#8230; How did you get a name like that and what does it mean? Well, the short answer is, it&#8217;s my dad&#8217;s fault. He grew up very poorly and one of the ways he escaped from that was to wander the woods. Somewhere down the line, he started to collect arrowheads. He collected over 3,000 Native American arrowheads thru his young years. And he started to read about their cultures. Cibicue is a creek in Arizona, it has something to do with Geronimo and the Apache tribe. I must admit, it\u2019s a heck of an ice breaker with strangers. I am a single, 35 year old Hispanic, freelance logo designer. I live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin but I was born in a small town in southwest Texas called Crystal City. In the mid 80&#8217;s, my mom and dad decided to move my younger brother Rigo and I to Wisconsin to make a better life for us. After my youngest brother Ethan was born, my parents decided to move the family back to Austin, Texas. As a teenager, I was not a very happy camper about this move. But I have come to realize that my dad is very wise; he told us that someday everything would be alright. Well, he was right on the money&#8230; everything did work out for the best. A few years rolled by, and just when I thought we were all settled in a cozy neighborhood with a handful of friends, my parents decided to move&#8230;.again&#8230;. back to Wisconsin. I was a junior in high school at the time, and I pretty much thought my life was over. It was truly like an episode of the Wonder Years. I left my Winnie Cooper standing in her doorway."}
