Say hello to Oren

Oren’s Story

I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and moved out on my own to Seattle when I was 19. I’ve gone to school off and on at North Seattle Community College, and was published in their Literary Magazine in 2007 with my short story “Fear”.

I recently had my first child whom I adore, and we lovingly refer to as The Squid. I am a very creative and artistically minded person. I can or have played many different musical instruments and I paint, knit, crochet, and sew. I am also an unabashedly huge geek. I love video games, anime, and pretty much anything nerdy. I have a very big passion for sustainable living and was even able to attend Bioneers a couple of years ago with my prior company. It was an amazing and eye-opening experience.

Ultimately, I am who I am today because of the challenges I have faced since a young age and having to find resolutions in unconventional ways.

I love to look at problems from different perspectives and to try to resolve them in unexpected ways. I also love puzzles and problems deemed impossible because there is always a way. I’m a very persistent person, very enthusiastic, and positive. I hope to bring and spread that amongst the team at Gravity.
