Outside of the office, you can find Michael enjoying Long walks on the beach, talking about deep, soul-searching romantic things such as Data Cubes, Tablix Matrices, and tax reporting. [Just kidding.] He enjoys photography, cooking, kayaking, fishing, camping and road trips.

Eric's favorite part of the job is developing creative solutions with new technology. Making it easier for our customers to do their jobs. Outside of work at Gilbert & Associates, you can find Eric doing all things bicycle related, including mountain biking in Banner Forrest, or track racing at Marymoor. He also adds pizza of all flabors, cupcakes from Starbucks, and giving Jimmy a hard time about not using the Bowflex he loaned him to his list of favorites.
