Tell me your first impression of FILO: When I first walked into the office to talk to Carrie, I was immediately drawn to the attitude and style of FILO. I love the atmosphere and personality that the people and company have as a whole. You can instantly tell that the company is successful because of the people who work there and the attitude they all possess.
How did the first few days of set-up go? The first few days can best be summed up in two words: organized chaos. I really didn't know what to expect when told I would be helping unload 16 semi-trucks and then building enough structures to fill a rather large facility, but the FILO team is nothing, if not supportive, motivated and hard-working. My first few days were exhausting, but rewarding.
What is your favorite thing about working at a FILO event? My favorite thing has been seeing an empty facility turn into the madness that is NBA All-Star Jam Session. I love that such a small, dedicated group of people can make such a huge impact on the environment and mission they are focused on.
What is one thing you have learned at this event? I have learned how to wire metal detectors. And nothing makes me happier.
How did you hear about/get involved with FILO? My good friend, Dan Fosse, is currently on as a full-time employee for FILO and he recommended I check out what FILO and the NBA All-Star Jam Session were all about.
Would you come back again next year? I would most definitely come back again.
What was the biggest surprise about doing this event (travel, labor, FILO attitude, anything, etc.)? Again, I think the biggest surprise was how much set-up and building such a small group of people can do in such a short amount of time. I knew it was going to be hard work and long days, but seeing the end result has made it all worth it.
