Meet Austin Dame, our new Director of Business Development at Synkwise! We sat down with Austin to ask him a few questions so you can get to know the person behind the role a little better.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Do you have any hobbies or passions?
- In my free time you can find me golfing, fly fishing, hiking, skiing, and generally any outdoor activities. My wife and I love being on adventures. The list is long, but being able to do many things is a lot of fun for us!
What’s your favorite movie?
Impossible to answer… It always depends on the season, mood, etc… here is a list that comes to mind right away.
- Lord of the Rings
- Star Wars Episode 4,5 & 6 and Rouge One
- The Fugitive
- The Dark Knight trilogy
- The Big Lebowski
What’s your favorite sport?
- This is a hard one to answer. I absolutely love watching College Football, but Golf is my favorite to play. This quote by Arnold Palmer always comes to mind when people ask why, “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”
Whats your favorite type of music?
- Likely alternative rock… I’d say Needtobreathe is one of my favorite bands if that helps answer the question.
Do you have a personal motto or piece of advice that inspires you?
Seek first the Kingdom of God. Matthew 6:33
- While this may sound simple, it isn’t always easy. This verse repeatedly comes to mind when I’m working with people, leading my family, or living my life. It helps align me with what’s truly important.
Is there something surprising about you that your colleagues might not know?
- I really can’t stand the sound styrofoam makes when taking packages out of boxes. It’s one of the worst noises and almost unbearable for me.
- I’ve also had two root canals in Kenya. I don’t recommend it.
What are you most excited about after joining Synkwise?
- I’m excited about the growth opportunities at Synkwise and the incredible team we have. I feel confident in the solutions and products we provide to our customers. Every day, I see a dedicated group of people working tirelessly to perfect the product and strive for excellence. That energy and attitude are contagious and make it an exciting environment to be a part of.
- I’m also thrilled about working with customers and providing a product I can sell with conviction, knowing that we are awesome and our end goal is to better lives.
