| Dan HerreraTitle: Chief Technical Officer First Job: My first job was cleaning up a second-hand shop when I was 13. I saved up all of my pay from my first job to buy a plastic Napoleonic chess set from the very same shop I was cleaning. I'm still pretty sure I got taken for a ride on the price. Favorite Store: Billy Galaxy. It's like a time-portal to my childhood. What you like about your current work at Revelation: I love the development culture at Revelation, we work hard to provide a process and culture that facilitates great work. |

![]() | Lori HeckmannTitle: Director of Business Development First Job: My first unpaid job was selling Camp Fire Girls candy. I sold enough peanut clusters and thin mints in the fourth grade to pay for summer camp. Favorite Store: Beecrowbee. Located in the small town of Joseph, Oregon near the Wallowa Mountains, this shop sells homemade soaps, lotions, and potions. Walking into Beecrowbee soothes all my senses. It calms, centers, and refreshes me — especially after a week of camping in the dirt. |
![]() | Rachel BellTitle: Director of Customer Experience First Job: East Coast Records Favorite Store: Powell's Books. I love the experience of walking into one of the country's largest independent book stores and know that the entire building is filled with stories. The possibilities are endless—head to the basement and you'll be transported into a world of culinary tales and recipes, stroll the first floor and browse great fiction and literary gems. Every floor offers a different path for a reader to choose. |

Max OgdenTitle: Jr. Agilist First Job: Small town computer shop fixing computers Favorite Store: Uwajimaya Asian Market because most of the time I have no idea what I bought until I open and sample my purchases.

![]() | Josh GoldbergTitle: Marketing Associate First Job: At 14, I started my own small business, a canteen that served three campgrounds all the while I tended to my itty-bitty kiddies as a camp counselor. The five- and six-year-old boys were my darlings. Favorite Store: Escentials Lotions & Oils. I’m such a sucker for essential oils. I can spend hours with bottles of perfumes and scents creating my own blends for my soaps. What you like about your current work at Revelation: Working for Revelation reminds me of the days that Andrew Jackson placed a big block of cheese in his foyer to warmly greet the citizens who had a difficult time reaching the President. It’s not for the lactose intolerant. |
Michael StapletonTitle: Marketing Communications Intern First Job: I was a radio producer for a love song dedication call-in show when I was 16.
