So … we’ve learned this really, really quickly. If you’re going to pull off an amazing CreativeMornings event, you need a super-talented, super-bearded, unflappable, “my Kung Fu is the best Kung Fu,”  nerd in the back of the room. Ours is Steve Whitby. And, he’s badass. You’ve seen him back there. From sound to video to countdown clocks and speaker decks, he’s holding it all together. And, making us all look good. Here’s a little more about him:NAME: Steve WhitbyWHAT’S YOUR CM TITLE?
AV Club President & Coordinator of Necessary Nerdery WHERE IS “HOME”?
Charlotte’s been home for 20 years. I moved here in 1995. I grew up in a steel town in PA, but Charlotte is most definitely my home now. #KeepPounding WHAT’S YOUR DAY JOB?
I’m the Creative Director at Warehouse 242, A Church for the City. So I work with musicians, artists, writers, and creatives every day. I point people in the right direction, I do our design work, and I herd cats.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORD IN THE WORLD?
Awesomesauce. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE WORD?
Besides moist? “But…” HOW MANY LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK?
Three. (English, Pig Latin, ErmanJay) Oh, and I speak Nerd fluently. So…, four. Definitely four. WHAT’S YOUR CREATIVE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION?
1. Ask more people about the stories that make them.
2. Listen more.
3. Do a little dance. Make a little love. Get down tonight. WHAT DRAWS YOU TO CREATIVE MORNINGS?
CM is a place to hear great stories and to meet people who want to help our city breathe deeply. ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON?
Hells, yeah. A heck of a lot happens before 7am shows up. I like being there for it. (oh…, and I have three little daughters, so involuntary 5am wake-up calls are my friend.)
