Regency Team

2. Angela Birch
General Manager
I have realized this year that I am a collector
of Dr. Seuss books. I own more shoes/
purses/scarves than I would like to admit to
and I have never even thought of myself as a
shoe/purse/scarf-aholic. I love boating and
being at the beach… needless to say, I’ve
always lived in close proximity to some sort
of body of water.

3. Andrew Christopher
Home Business Group Manager
I like to walk on the beach and listen to 2
chains for motivation, while drinking a nice
tall glass of Iced Green Tea...........ha ha ha
Ok. Here we go
I played classical piano for 12 years. 2. I was
the first person in my entire family tree to
graduate college - now everyone is going to
college! 3. I have a 5 year degree I
Architecture

4. Adam Penkunas
Connectivity Business Group Manager
Originally from Pennsylvania, Adam has lived
in Florida for the past 18 years; 11 of which
he has worked for best buy. Some of Adam's
hobbies are Formula 1 racing (very, very
different from NASCAR) and each year Adam
travels to Austin, Texas to attend the only
Formula 1 race that's held in the United
States. Aside from F1 Adam also loves to
play Xbox and is currently playing call of
duty.

5. Jon Karas
Multi-Channel Sales Support Manager
Born in Massachusetts (that does not mean
I'm from Boston), and lived there most of
my life (spent a little time in New York,
Virginia and Connecticut). I moved to Florida
about 4 1/2 years ago, because the weather
in Massachusetts sucks. Married for 13
years and have two kids; 11 year old girl and
6 year old boy. Enjoy spending time with
them and going to the beach. I Played
baseball for 20 years, and took up tennis a
couple years ago because of my daughter,
but most of my free time revolves around
my kid's sports now.

6. Maegan Ross
Best Buy Mobile Supervisor
I have been with Best Buy since 2006
working as a wireless consultant, S.O.,
customer service rep and BBYM. Having the
pleasure of working in four different stores
has really given me the opportunity to meet
some great people. Moving from MI to FL
has been a great experience and this team
has been amazing. I have a sister back in MI
along with my mom, dad, grandma and the
rest of my extended family.

9. Allison Travers
Home Business Group Supervisor
Hey, I’m Allie. I moved to Jacksonville with
my mom about 21 years ago from Long
Island New York. I love being outside when
the sun is shining, but that doesn’t make me
outdoorsy. I have 4 sisters, two older and
two younger. I am a licensed cosmetologist
as well as the HBG supervisor at best buy
429. I started here part time over three
years ago as a seasonal employee in
Portable Electronics and I’ve been moving
my way up ever since.

12. Dylan Crissman
Geek Squad
I am 25, an avid gamer, when I am not
playing with my little girl, she is a newborn. I
am into anything Tech; I keep up to date
with CES and E3. I’m hoping to eventually
make my way to writing game reviews for
IGN or Machinima. I used to host a gaming
podcast with a decent 2k plus following. I
work out about 4-5 days a week and am
down 85+ lbs. since I started eating
healthier.

13. Clint Miller
Sales Support
First off, I'd say I'm pretty badarss but thats
besides the point. Playing guitar is
something I'm pretty passionate about and
one day you all will be having to OMS my CD
from another store when its always sold
out. One thing I also enjoy is annoying John
Morrison after store hours by playing things
over the intercom... haha! I wrote this in
about 5 seconds, but I'd say music
and humor just about sums me up.

14. Julio Raffo
Front Lanes
"YO YO YO! This is Julio live from Best Buy;
born in Peru, I’m 20. I Speak English
(obviously) also Spanish and French. Love
hearing the helicopters and sirens outside
my window before going to sleep. Peace."

15. Steven Curtis
Computers
The name is Steven, I'm 21 years old and
love my job. I enjoy building computers and
selling them. I also enjoy helping people
understand how computers work and how
the customer can benefit from a desktop or
laptop. I love football and you more than
likely already know I'm a Raven - Super Bowl
Champions!!!!!

17. Shelli Stormer

I have been an Auto Tech for more than 10
years. In my spare time I like to hang out
with friends and family, go camping, hiking,
play softball, and attend soccer games (both
my husband, Joey, and son, Austin, play
soccer year round). I also love to play piano
and can sing like a Rock Star in my car (when
I'm driving by myself). Anyone for karaoke!?

19. Ryan Baldwin
Lifestyles
I’ve been working for Best Buy for three
years. I started in Computers where I
worked for about 1 ½ years, until I
transferred to the Media department which
is now know as Lifestyles. I then moved to
Best Buy Mobile, but I was only there for
about 3 or 4 months. I then transferred back
to Lifestyles where I currently serve am. I am
working to possibly become a lead in the
future if the spot becomes available.

20. Gabriella Mont
Best Buy Mobile
I'm Gabbie! I'm a South Florida girl who's
come to Jacksonville to study Art History at
the University of North Florida. I come from
a big Hispanic family, and I have five
brothers and sisters. Coming from such a big
family has helped me grow to learn the
importance of teamwork and working
towards the greater good for all. It's also
made me the incredibly big-hearted person I
am. With that said, I'm super excited to see
what great things this team will be able to
bring to the store, to make sure that we are
all HAVING FUN WHILE BEING THE BEST! (:
