Hi Quirks! I’m Garrick.

I’ve been with Quirky for about a month now as the new addition to the Finance/Operations team, and have hit the proverbial “ground” running at ungodly speed since Day 1. Coming from a big accounting firm, I’m definitely elated to be missing audit busy season this year. Instead, I’ve plunged grill-first into making sure the Quirky books and financials are immaculate.

I’m super excited to be joining a skilled team of Excel-savvy number enthusiasts who are as well versed in the cryptic language of accounting as they are with the best places to eat in the city (lots of foodies here). And to prove my enthusiasm, I’ve decided to paint my apartment walls Quirky purple!

Just kidding…

My accent wall at home (pictured) is actually uncannily similar to that of our SoHo office — talk about having trouble distinguishing between if I’m at work or at home! Some fun stuff about me outside of work:

- I enjoy winter sports and snowboarding in small groups.

- I spend more hours during the week window-shopping or browsing online than I do sleeping.

- I have an alter ego as a prolific underground poker player.
