Hola, mis amigos. Me llamo Christophini Jaskopini. ¿Dónde está la biblioteca? And thus ends the Spanish portion of my introductory blog because I’m pretty much tapped.

Seriously, though, I am Christopher Michael Jasko the First, the newest member of this happy band known as The C-3 Group. I look forward to bringing the “skills that pay the bills” as the team’s Account Manager and Copywriter.

This is the part of the blog where I’m supposed to give you a brief overview of my life, schooling, and experiences. Honestly, that’d probably be a bore so I’ll save you some time with a fistful of rapid-fire fun facts:

• I’ve been happily married for nearly 10 years. I’m contractually obligated to say that my wife is the coolest person ever.
• My house was built in 1920. It is approximately 700 square feet. Now put five kids, two adults, and a dog into that space. Privacy and quiet are only concepts I’ve heard about from my single friends.
• I raise backyard chickens. Please don’t tell the man. The eggs are tasty.
• Dayton is my favorite city/place in the entire world. Costa Rica is a close second.
• I am color blind (deutan color vision, specifically). No, that doesn’t mean I cannot see any color at all.
• I once mashed seven pieces of birthday cake into my mouth at the same time. This was not my best look.
• The common mallard is my power animal. Quack.
• I received my BA in Journalism from Wright State University. It’d be groovy if I could go back for my Master’s degree.
• If I were an album, I’d probably be “Out of the Blue” by Electric Light Orchestra. Sophisticated, beautiful, and grandiose, yet great for dancin’.
• I’m a fan of the Oxford comma. Sorry.

There you have it: a nibble of information about one Christopher Michael Jasko. I’m glad you’ve had a chance to learn a little about me, and I’d happily share more if you’d like to swing by the office for a cup of coffee or two.

Anywho, I’m truly thrilled to be at The C-3 Group. We’ve got a pretty special group of folks here. I can’t wait to be a part of all the great things we’ll accomplish. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that it’s going to be a fun ride.

Is that enough? Sure seems like it. I just hope I hit the word count. Wait, is this thing still on? Oops.

Way back in 2013, we began an initiative to support the charitable organizations in the Dayton region that give back so much to our community and make the Miami Valley a better place to live, work, and play. Since then, we’ve had the opportunity to work with some truly fantastic people and nonprofits that are making a real difference, and we’re excited to continue this great tradition in 2016.

It’s our pleasure to announce St. Vincent de Paul, Dayton District Council as our selection for the C-3 Cares initiative.

St. Vincent de Paul delivers vital services to homeless and impoverished individuals and families in the Greater Dayton area. The organization annually serves over 100,000 people in the region by providing emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing, food, clothing and household items, and assistance.

The entire C-3 team is amazed by the good work St. Vincent de Paul does for the community. We look forward to supporting the organization and their mission to end poverty and homelessness.

Applications for C-3 Cares will be accepted during the fourth quarter of each year and the selected organization will be chosen and notified in January of the following year. Find out more about C-3 Cares.
