# Tangram Ten // Jason Romero
We're excited to introduce the newest member of our Newport Beach team: **Jason Romero**, who joins Tangram as Sales Assistant. With 13 years of experience in the furniture rental industry, Jason brings valuable expertise in client relations, sales support, and operational coordination that will strengthen our California operations.
## Getting to Know Jason
**From Costa Mesa to Commercial Design**
A California native born in Culver City, Jason has called Costa Mesa home for nearly seven years after moving around Orange County and the Inland Empire in his younger years. His transition from furniture rental to commercial interior design represents an exciting career evolution that brings fresh perspective to our team.
**Professional Background**
Jason's extensive experience includes managing comprehensive client communications—from walk-ins and phone inquiries to email correspondence—while supporting four outside sales representatives. His role also involved coordinating with operations teams to manage delivery and pickup schedules, skills that translate perfectly to the commercial design environment.
## Beyond the Office
**Recent Adventures**
Jason recently checked off a major item from his bucket list: watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys play in person. The game against the Patriots in Boston proved memorable for all the right reasons—despite the freezing, windy, and rainy conditions that made it an unforgettable experience.
**Culinary Favorites**
When it comes to food, Jason's heart belongs to **Bandeja Paisa**, a traditional Colombian dish he enjoys during visits to see family in South America. This hearty plate combines white rice, red beans, shredded meat, chorizo, pork rind, fried egg, avocado, arepa, and plantain—a feast that reflects his appreciation for bold flavors and generous portions.
**Pop Culture Preferences**
As a longtime Iron Man fan, Jason would choose to have lunch with Robert Downey Jr., appreciating both the actor's portrayal of his childhood hero and his role in launching what became the largest movie franchise in history.
## Looking Forward at Tangram
**Professional Goals**
Jason is particularly excited about learning new processes and building relationships across departments and with vendors. His focus remains on supporting business growth while ensuring clients receive exceptional service—a philosophy that aligns perfectly with Tangram's commitment to excellence.
**What He Brings to the Team**
After making the bold decision to leave his position of 13 years, Jason is ready to contribute his dedication and furniture industry knowledge to Tangram's innovative approach to commercial design. His experience in client relations and operational coordination positions him well to enhance our team's capabilities.
## A Sweet Confession
When pressed about his donut consumption capacity, Jason admits to an "all of the donuts" philosophy, comparing them to Oreos in their irresistible nature. It's this kind of honest, approachable personality that makes him a natural fit for our collaborative environment.
Welcome to the Tangram family, Jason. We're looking forward to the fresh insights and dedication you'll bring to our Newport Beach office and our continued growth in the commercial design industry.
