Need a sounding board? An event planned? A pep talk? A raise or a snack? Caryn is all that, and a bag of chips (literally . . . probably all while she's drinking a Pepsi and singing 80's R&B). Her ability to thrive best with a jam-packed schedule, and her past career experience, is the perfect foundation for all she does on the daily for #TeamTriton, and our clients too!
Never at a loss for words or solutions, Caryn is a walking billboard promoting all the people, places, and things she loves. Just make sure she's had her morning coffee -- specifically from Caribou -- before you get her going.
It doesn't take long to feel the positivity and energy radiating off of Chelsea. A self-described introverted extrovert, she injects her enthusiasm for life into every website design and photography shoot she's leading. Don't let her quirkiness fool you . . . she's incredible at taking a vision and bringing it to life in a way that will have you wondering how'd she do that?
When Chelsea's not indulging in the occasional scoop of Blue Moon ice cream or having a slice of pie for breakfast as a natural in the kitchen, she's often teasing our team with wafts of leftovers she's warming up in the microwave from her dinner the night before. Bon appetite!
Corey's name should have been Jack -- as in "Jack of All Trades." It's probably better his parents decided against that one though since JOAT isn't as cool of a nickname as CK.
Appropriately named or not, Corey's multi-talented knack and vision for helping small businesses (and every single member of #TeamTriton) succeed says so much about who he is. A risk taker that's far smarter than he'll ever admit (or that we'll admit to him) -- which could be an admission in itself right there.
Job Titles:
- Content Specialist
- Senior Content Specialist
It's safe to assume that when Benjamin Franklin said, "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing," he was directing that quote specifically to Evan. A man of many words -- both written and spoken as smoothly as if the narrator was Matthew McConaughey, Evan is a client favorite often remembered as "the guy who said he'd off my competition for me".
Having escaped the cornstalk-clutches of Iowa, Evan's coolness continues to ooze outside of the office walls as he tours the area playing in bands, producing podcasts, and providing voice-over narration for the everyday trials and tribulations of his dog Tegan.

If Triton had a mascot, there's no doubt who it'd be tailor made for: Jace! Full of passion for our company and our clients, he'd be the first in line to get a Triton tattoo -- temporary of course (you know the ones that you peel the back off and transfer with a wet paper towel) because you gotta draw the line somewhere). A self-taught web and graphic designer starting as far back as Middle School, Jace has made a full fledged career out of what he once thought could only be a "hobby".
When asked about his current hobbies, family, and passions he naturally responded, "I really just love life and everything about it!" Hello . . . how can you not want a guy like Jace filling your office and Google Hangouts? He's a team player and a full on jokester, which one has to be as a fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Job Titles:
- Digital Marketing Specialist / Murr
Talk about an oxymoron of a career experience: James started out in digital marketing currating product descriptions for a website that sold furniture for the Amish. While the Amish are known for simplicity and never-changing traditions, James relished with the constant changes of digital marketing!
Always Sometimes up for a good time in downtown Fort Collins, he's more regularly found hiking through the incredible landscapes and nature in the area. A dad of three who's extremely passionate about both making and listening to music, he's bound to break out in embarrassing renditions of Rolling Stone songs whenever he has the chance . . . just kidding . . . or are we?
Job Titles:
- Senior Search Marketing Analyst
You know the scenes in action movies where some tech-savvy savant is able to hack into the mainframe or unlock the security codes so Tom Cruise can save the world? Yeah, that's pretty much what Jared does on a daily basis, except instead of hacking mainframes, he's researching keywords and performance analytics to boost our clients' website's online visibility. Still cool, right?
When he's not crunching numbers and processing data, you'll probably find Jared basking in the great outdoors with his family, taking a much needed break from the grit and grind of crafting another successful digital marketing strategy, and refusing to share his plethora of junk food and snacks with his coworkers.
Born in a small town and raised by Minneapolis, Kaleh has a story to tell about pretty much everything, but prefers to write it down first (if possible). Right-brained to the core, she brings a background in creative writing, journalism, and digital media production to #TeamTriton and leads our Content Team with a heavy hand of "Let me know how I can help!"
Self-proclaimed as "Prince's Biggest Fan", Kaleh herself is an incredible singer. Don't go searching for her around the stages of Minneapolis (yet), you'll have better luck catching her vocals when she doesn't know you're near or as a passenger in her car while she's driving.
Ken Suarez Web Developer Uriah Since the early days of Triton Commerce, we knew it would be important to find employees who were talented in multiple aspects of web design, including front and back end development. Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce you to a man who has been all that and more since joining #TeamTriton in 2012: Ken! The man, the myth, the legend - he brings the designs of our clients to life. Never one for turning down an adventure, Ken spends his time outside of the office exploring the nature surrounding him as he chases the landscapes of the Philippines. And lucky for us, he captures his expeditions wearing a go-pro fixed to the front of his mountain bike, scuba gear, motorcycle and more! Strengths - Adrenaline junkie - Wearer of many hats - Web design + development skills - Work life balance - Drone pilot Weaknesses - Only having 24-hours in a day - Slow pokes - Limits and boundaries - Safe is boring
Job Titles:
- VP Client Operations

If Matt had a spirit animal, no doubt it'd be a golden retriever: always excited, always loyal, and always ready to hype you up to be in a similar mood. In fact, if you look up the qualities of a golden retriever, they desire to get along well with others (including strangers) and have an endearing love of life. They seek the middle ground and eagerly pursue compromise when conflicts come up.
You know the guy that is friends with everyone, brings the best beer to the party, wins all your money during a night of poker and you still can't imagine disliking him? No, no, not Matthew McConaughey . . . close though; we're talking about Nick!
Known around the office for his quick wit and growling stomach, Nick is usually the last to arrive each morning (avoiding breakfast hours) and the last to leave each night. He's like a ninja of sorts -- stealthily quiet and staying out of the limelight, hard at work on secret (extremely impactful) projects he's busy perfecting before their rollout.
As one of the original employees of Triton Commerce, there aren't many roles that Nimrod hasn't held himself or directly effected with his day-to-day knowledge and skills. Always willing to jump into a project, using his web and marketing experience he's helped find solutions for many of our customers, especially when it comes to search marketing.
Job Titles:

Tiffany Losselyong Senior Account Manager Glorified Babysitter Growing up, we all remember our favorite babysitter -- the one we begged our parents to call first when they were threatening us with a "kid-free night out on the town". The fun one, the cool one . . the one that makes even the worst chore or frozen TV dinner seem like a really good time. Tif's that babysitter! Could be her bubbly personality, her sweet way of asking (even on the 17th request in a row), or how she brings your favorite treats in when you least expect them (like after her beloved Packers crushed the Vikings). She's definitely the one you don't want to let down and risk getting added to her "do not answer" list the next time your parents need a night off. Because then you'll be stuck being babysat by your mom's great-aunt Bessie, whose idea of fun is teaching you how to properly clean her dentures. Strengths - Staying on task - Harlem Globetrotters Superfan - Running Triton's Florida office - Hawaii Poke Bowl tour guide - Pestering CK about a task Weaknesses - Packers Fan - Duck Donuts - Missed deadlines - Meetings to discuss having meetings - Squirrels
With ever-growing knowledge and skills as silent and stealth as a ninja, Vlad has been part of Corey and Nick's companies as far back as 20 years ago. A man of few words (except when it comes to the topic of Star Wars), he prefers to let his top-notch quality and speed of work do the talking.
A true team player, Vlad is the first to offer to jump in and help with projects across all divisions of Triton. His can-do attitude mirrors a quote spoken by none other than the Grand Jedi Master, Yoda: "No! Try not! Do or do not, there is no try."
