We can always count on Javad to keep our spirits high, whether it's with his upbeat attitude or by making us specialty cocktails at 4 on Fridays. But don't let his carefree disposition fool you; he's serious about getting quality work done on time. Our lead in video, he also designs and does production, with an insatiable curiosity and super-human drive that make him an invaluable asset.

A cornbread-loving southern native, Javad earned his BFA from the University of Georgia and ventured north into what he calls the “treacherous cold.” When he's not at Torque, Javad can be found watching wrestling, killing it in ski ball or pool, and chronicling his adventures around the city in his Quest to be the Guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
