“Dustin what happened to you??” -My Boss at QBP

So last Friday during the ASA event in Chicago someone called QBP claiming to be me… I was “in LA for a photoshoot, the airlines lost my bag, money, cell phone, and my grandmother died” so they wanted QBP to wire cash to some random name in LA through Western Union. SOMEHOW they got QBP [...]

After a long story, I substituted my standard QBP chair for a lazy boy… Talk about productivity! I’ve been able to sleep more than ever!

QBP Q-bical Fun (off the clock of course)

Sasquatch. QBP.

We recently started on a large new project at QBP, so large we don’t even know what it is. Or what to call it.
