\"MichaelMichael Stokes, UncommonGoods Customer Service Team Lead<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My hometown\u2026<\/strong>
\nTechnically Brooklyn NY, (Brownsville<\/a>) by birth, but I spent the bulk of my formative years in Elizabeth NJ<\/a>. (That\u2019s right, I\u2019m a JerseyBoi.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m passionate about\u2026<\/strong>
\nI love to cook, and event planning. I love seeing small details come together to make an event a huge success.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026<\/strong>
\nRelaxing on my porch with a homemade margarita, or in my room playing video games.<\/p>\n

Something that always makes me laugh\u2026<\/strong>
\nAnything that Stewie<\/a>\u00a0on Family Guy says<\/p>\n

My spirit animal is\u2026<\/strong>
\nThat all depends on which religion and\/or cultural reference we are looking at this from. Native American \u2013 I am the deer. I am a horse in some tribes. And I am a Spider Monkey some African practices such as Yoruba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My relationship with Mother Nature is\u2026<\/strong>
\nNot very good. I hate to get dirty, and Mother Nature has a lot of dirt. So I try my best to avoid her.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nCaliente Cab<\/a> on 7th and Bleeker<\/p>\n

If I could throw the perfect party\u2026<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d rent a modern glass house that had a huge pool and a great view. The house would be divided into 3 areas one that is comfortable for sitting and holding conversation with seating for people to eat. The pool area, and another large room for dancing with a healthy mix of reggae and R&B music.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me…<\/strong>
\nI have a twin sister. She is my polar opposite in every way. (We do not get along at all.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
