Pike13 hot seat: House-flipping Hungarian

Did you ever wonder who is behind the brains, brawn (and beauty) of an organization? Each month, we will introduce you to one of our Pike13 crew. We want to share a little bit about ourselves and the flair that each of us brings to the team. Sit back and enjoy the show.

1. Name? Erika Nagy

2. Where do you live? Shoreline, WA

3. Where’s your hometown? Seattle, WA (I moved far)

4. How did you come to work at Pike13? Tim's a stalker. And I was referred to Jon Zimmerman by a mutual friend and colleague.

5. What do you do for Pike13? When I start, I’ll be in the marketing department, helping to drive qualified leads to sales, as well as overall awareness of our amazing product.

6. How did you get to be the embodiment of customer love? I think we all need to think of our own stellar experiences and those companies and brands that make us feel amazing. I think of Nordstrom and Amazon as two companies that don’t necessarily offer exclusive products, but the service, ease of use, and trust that they’ll do right by me keeps me coming back again and again. Even if their prices are higher.

7. If you weren't working at Pike13, what would you do? Flip houses

8. What’s the favorite place you’ve lived? Ha! You’ll have to ask someone more well traveled, but I clearly love the Pacific Northwest!

9. Tell us something we don’t know. I’m a mom of two amazing little boys, I love to run, and my family is from Hungary.

10. If we came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us? Whatever your heart desires

11. What's your favorite sports team? SEAHAWKS!

12. What superhero would you be and why? Wonderwoman. She’s hot and badass. Why can’t we be both?

13. How do you make a tuna sandwich? Pickles, mayo, and red onion.

14. What is one misconception people have about you? I can be shy, and because I’m a bit on the loud side, they assume I’m always super outgoing. Not always the case. Takes me a bit to warm up.

15. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Lego Movie

16. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds. No question.

17. If you were a kitchen appliance what would you be? Food processor

18. What is your hobby? Running, home improvement projects, and shoe shopping ;)

19. Favorite sport to watch? Football

20. Goal you have for yourself? Raise self-sufficient, happy young men, retire by 50, and a ton of travel after that. Or a ton of nothing. Whatever I feel like doing.

21. Pets? Two chihuahuas, one cat, and a pack of coyotes in my backyard

22. What is a date on the calendar you are looking forward to? April 14th, my first day at Pike13

27. Describe your closet. A madhouse—and about 100 pairs of shoes

28. How do you take your coffee/tea? With cream and sugar

30. Toilet paper under or over? Over
