Why Jobsite? How refreshing it was. I had been working at Disney for probably a total of 2 years at the point when I got involved in Jobsite and was getting sick of cookie cutter mentality and Jobsite was the complete opposite of that. Being able to work with group that had alot of great fresh ideas and doing such edgy socially topical material was so great, that I gave up my full time status at Disney and became a subcontractor for them, so I was able to have Disney, work around my time with Jobsite.
