Currently I am in the middle of writing new profiles for 36 FastServers.Net employees. If there is one thing I have learned so far, it is that we have some very unique and interesting personalities on staff. In fact, they are so unique that I thought maybe you would want me to share a couple of them with you.
First up is Steven Anderson. He is the Director of Inside Sales at the downtown Chicago office. What is so unique about Steven? Well, for starters, he owns a massive music collection, consisting of 1500 LPs and CDs. That is quite impressive, don’t you think? Why does he have so many? Well, back in his college days at Northern Illinois University, he was a radio personality for the school’s student radio station. And when he wasn’t “on air,” he was at a local bar spinning records as the DJ.
But wait, there is a lot more this music aficionado has in his collection. Steven knows about every music venue or festival that you would ever want to see in Chicago. When I was interviewing him, he was going on and on about all these venues and festivals that he has either seen or will attend during the year. Not just one or two, a complete list. Hence the title of this BLOG post, “Hey DJ, Keep Playing That Song.”
Steven is also, at least to my knowledge, the only employee in the company who owns a car that dates back to the 50s. He has a 1955 Chevy Bel Air. Isn’t that cool? For those of you who are car enthusiasts, or if you just want to see what a ’55 Bel Air looks like, I have included a link to a stock photo of one in Steven’s full profile. And if you are a fan of cars like I am, regardless of what year they are, you too will appreciate Steven’s classic car.

If learning about Steven’s collection of 1500 LPs and CDs impressed you, wait until you read about Monmini Kabre. We call him “Mo” because it is much easier. Anyway, Mo grew up in Ivory Coast, just off the coast of West Africa, and has a set of special skills that nobody in the company can match. The amazing thing about Mo is that he speaks, reads, and writes five languages. Well, he says he is not a fluent speaker of German. Regardless, when he told me that he knows five languages at the FastServers.Net 2006 Christmas party, I was taken back a bit.
How often do you meet someone who can speak, read and write in five different languages? If you are like me, it is not that often. I have met people that speak two languages, but not five. In fact, most people struggle with just one. Moving on, let me give you a quick rundown of the languages Mo knows:
· French
· German
· English
· Gouro
· Mossi
· Swahili
But that is not all. Mo is a fanatic about soccer. He played growing up, during college, and also plays for a recreational league in Chicago. For all you soccer fans out there, Mo has played in various parts of the world. So if you know any of the languages (besides English) listed above, or you are a fan of soccer, call Mo and speak to him in one of his many native tongues.

I may have only mentioned two personalities in this post. That is okay because there will be many more posts like this one. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many diverse and unique personalities on the team. In my next post, I will introduce you to a couple more people. And trust me, they are unique.
If you have anything in particular you would like me to write (BLOG) about, please send an email to dy@fastservers.net. I always look forward to hearing from customers. Or if you just like to read the FastServers.Net web site and BLOG, contact me anyway.
