Chris Bohn aka CB aka longhaul works on the Engineering Team, specifically on database administration. One of the many things that CB deals with on a daily basis are sprocs. Now if you don't know what that means, don't you worry, it is not your job to know about or deal with such things — it's CB's.
Notice how Etsy hasn't been crashing at all lately? CB is another member of the team that keeps Etsy operating as smoothly as possible. He's also working hard with Haim, Dusten, Ian, Paul, George, and Joe P to move our servers to a new — more optimized — space. These guys don't get enough credit ... because if they're doing their jobs well, you don't notice what they're doing!

CB Fun Facts:
- CB and his family live in San Francicso, and he brought them to NYC for an Engineering meetup so they could see New York.
- CB's real name is Chris, but we already had admin Chris aka RevolvingDork, so he was relegated to CB.
- He owns many guitars which cause him to "rock hard" according to various sources.
- Has been known to belt out a mean rendition of Don't Fear The Reaper.
- Give him a beer and swears like a sailor.
- Among engineers, CB is used as a verb. In other words, if you go drinking with him, you're likely to show up to work the next day and say "I got CB'd last night."

CB cuteness:

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We've been posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Database administrators, This site is great, I am in awe of your talent. As a web designer myself I work with database administrators and I wish I could program as well as you guys can! Thanks!
