What do you enjoy about working at Netfor?

The one thing that I really fell in love with while working at Netfor is the diverse culture that we have. We have everyone from firearm enthusiasts, die hard gamers, to carpenters, to people who can talk about hot sauce for a week straight. This really makes working at Netfor quite amazing because you know at least someone has similar interests as you.

Fun Facts about Ethan

One of my all-time favorite TV shows is Bob’s Burgers.  When I met my wife online the first thing we ever talked about was that show. Before our wedding night we were both a nervous wreck, hoping that everything would go smoothly. We turned on the TV to fall asleep to it as we normally do, and Bob’s Burgers was on and it just so happened to be the only wedding episode to ever air, it was at the point we knew that it would be an amazing day.
