This week we’re spotlighting our amazing Sales Executive, Bobby Ennis, who has been with GJ since day one and helped get the whole party started back in 2015 - back when it took three suitcases full of gear to show an ad agency a VR experience!
Bobby brings his love of creative technology and strategic mind to many long-term clients and the GJ team and loves watching each and every project grow from a simple conversation into an award-winning experience.
Before Groove Jones Bobby worked for Arthur Andersen`s technology consulting group, and for years in the experiential marketing world as a consultant, trusted advisor, contractor, and freelancer.
In his free time, Bobby enjoys music, Eastern philosophy, and his very deep passion for pickleball and destroying his opponents, no matter the age or gender, he`s in it for utter destruction and competition. And when he`s not destroying pickleball opponents he loves hanging out with his wife and two daughters and watching them play soccer.
