What our employees say…
“Working at MerchantOS is like going to war… (nerf) bullets flying past, commanders (Justin & Ivan) shouting orders and general pandemonium as we battle to create awesome customer experiences. Oh, yeah, and we have a super nintendo.” -Luke, Developer
“This is easily the best place to work in Olympia. A contender for the best job ever. Everyone has a say in MerchantOS. There isn’t a company out there that respects its employees and their vices as well as MerchantOS. Thanks to them, I am now a High-Functioning Alcoholic. I used to be afraid of showing up to work intoxicated and unshowered, but thanks to this support position I am now a fearless lion. A drunk, fearless lion. Oh, also we joke a lot in the office. Sometimes we take jokes too far. Like I’m doing right now.” -Murdoc, Customer Support Hero
“You guys run the best customer service I have ever seen. Don’t let up.” Pricebusters Inc. – Dalton, Georgia
Christina Gilpin VP Customer Relations
Christina was born and raised in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose. After a few re-locations, she found herself in the beautiful state of Washington and ready to jump back into the work force after enjoying some quality time staying home with her daughter. Christina covers support and sales for MerchantOS and anything else she can get her hands on. She is likely to be one of the first voices you will hear and become familiar with as we work with you while setting up your account. Outside of work, Christina balances the rest as a soccer mom to her 4 year old, a never-ending student and a lover of all things musical and artistic (including tattoos!)
Scott Kern VP Operations
Scott is the old man of the team (ok.. he’s only 1 year older than Justin). He was born and raised in California and ended up in Washington after 4 years in the Army. Shortly after graduating from Saint Martin’s Univeristy, he was snatched up by Justin and Ivan to work at MerchantOS. Scott can be found importing data into customers accounts, testing, and answering customers advanced questions. Scott enjoys time with the family, camping, fishing, and paintball.
Nathan Horter VP Engineering
Nate grew up in south central Missouri and went to high school in Minnesota. He came to Washington to attend The Evergreen State College and graduated with a degree in Chemistry. He’s always had an interest in computers and was excited to join the MerchantOS team, working behind the scenes adding new features, squashing bugs, and making the system better. When not writing code he’s usually supporting the Seattle Sounders and spending time outdoors with his girlfriend Sarah and their dog Elle.
Murdoc Trammell Customer Support Hero
No one really knows where Murdoc came from. We’re pretty sure he lived in Germany as an army brat for 15 years, but he speaks a surprisingly small amount of German, so who knows. He came to Washington in 2004 and got his degree from The Evergreen State College with a focus on mathematics. When he’s not busy brewing beer with Nate, catching up to Christina in the amount of money spent on tattoos, going to dance parties with Bryn, or dragging Scott to LAN parties he’s usually hopped up on energy drinks doing some competitive PC gaming.
Bryn Harris Customer Support Heroine
Bryn was born in Boston but has lived in the Northwest her whole life and loves the rain. She has ended up in Olympia (much to her surprise) for six years, four of which were spent at The Evergreen State College. When she isn’t talking to her awesome MerchantOS clients, she likes to read, knit until there is no tomorrow, and go out dancing.
Luke Bowerman Developer
Luke’s the sole Washington-native of the company. He’s been doing some form of web development for over 12 years. Luke joined the MerchantOS team to help add some UI-polish here and there, develop new features and get some mobile-friendly functionality going. Outside of work Luke spends time with his wife Whitney and daughter Poppy and occasionally attempts to get out on the road for good long ride on his super-sweet Scott Addict (thank you Whitney!).
