This week, our “Meet the Small Dogger” segment goes out to lucky contestant and “young gun” Jonny Wanser. Jonny came on as a Small Dog sales associate back in July. So why are we featuring him now?
Jonny was recently promoted to Assistant Manger in our South Burlington location because of his stellar performance and superior customer service skills! That may sound like a quick jump up the corporate ladder, but it doesn’t come without some serious retail experience.
Before coming to Small Dog he spent about three years at American Apparel, Forever 21 and Ace Hardware (there’s some diversity).
And now for the best part — here are some things you might not know about Jonny:
When Jonny is not rockin’ the Small Dog floor, he’s busy working full time on a rock opera. Yes, that’s right — a Rock. Opera. For a few years, he kept busy moving from Seattle to San Francisco trying to make connections to help him craft his rock opera, before he found himself settling back in his hometown of Burlington, Vermont. Since he’s been back, he’s been focusing most of his down time on recording and organizing it with some of his closest friends.
He also runs an internet-famous blog and does audio engineering for himself and others who need it. This mostly entails sitting in on recording sessions or making songs/beats for others.
Jonny might sound like a busy guy, but when he’s not focusing on his beats he can most likely be found in his basement in his own personal studio writing sad songs and eating chips.
If any of you Kibbles readers are visiting our South Burlington location and need advice on anything related to audio engineering (or anything technology-related, really), seek out Jonny. He’ll be your guy!
