Q & A with Devin Dardanes

Account Coordinator

In what subject are you a trivia buff? I know a lot about the trees and plants that grow in Colorado and I'm an avid gardener. If someone points at a tree they like, I can probably tell him or her what species it is.

Favorite place in the entire world? Luckily for me, my favorite place in the world is my backyard in summer. There's nothing better than an open schedule, a sunny day and a smoking BBQ right here in Denver.

Favorite and least favorite food: My favorite food is polenta with all the fixings-traditional Italian style. My least favorite food is cilantro-parsley's evil cousin.

First job/worst job. I worked as a "vintage department operator" at a picture frame design/manufacturing company. I stained thousands of picture frames and then used a sanding block to scratch the corners and edges to make them look, well, vintage.

What would you do if you weren't in advertising? Maps and geography fascinate me. I have a minor in physical geography, so I might be working in G.I.S. technology or in some other sector of geography. Ironically, I still get lost trying to find the bathroom in our building...

Name 3 items in your kitchen you can't live without. Garlic, olive oil, and cheese. Did I mention I am Greek and Italian?

What's your favorite karaoke song? I was seriously close to doing karaoke in a bar on Cape Cod. The guy before me was so horrible, I swore I'd never subject myself to the same humiliation.
