Hi! I'm Jesse Robbins, and I recently joined as an Adviser helping Swivel get bigger and more reliable. Like Sara, my background is a mix of Technology and real-world Emergency Management, and my focus is combining those skills to improve people's lives.
Previously I worked at Amazon.com from 2001-2006 where I was responsible for IT Operations and Availability (my business card read "Master of Disaster"). I'm also a certified Firefighter-1 and Emergency Medical Technician, and have accumulated a number of Hazardous Materials and Technical Rescue certifications.
When I'm not at Swivel I organize BarCampBank & DisasterCamp events, wrangle speakers @ Ignite, and blog for O'Reilly Radar.
Here's a picture from our trip to the OECD World Forum in Istanbul:

It is great to have Jesse around. If not for his all around kick-assness, but at least to point out the nearest emergency exit. Welcome Jesse!
