DOM&TOM

Ready for another D&T profile?! Read on for a look into the mind of D&T NY's master programmer, the other half of the dynamic twin duo: Dom! His name comes first for a reason.. A reason we haven't quite figured out yet.

DOM & TOM PROFILE #5: Dom Tancredi, Co-Founder/President of DOM & TOM

Question #1 What super-powers allowed you access to the secret lair of D&T NYC Office - ominously named "TREEFORT"?
Misdirection. We named it "TREEFORT" even though we're on the first floor. Our enemies will never find us.

#2 What are you doing here? I mean, it's cool, but really, what are you doing here?
Coding. Today included final touches on an e-commerce platform, database updates, site html cut-ups, blackberry simulator testing, two iphone projects, and digital strategizing for brands.

Also, naming things. I've already named the Dom & Tom: Mug, the Dom & Tom: Dry Eraseboard. I'm really hoping to save enough for the Dom & Tom: Flamethrower.

#3 If you threw a party and could invite anyone, who's coming to the party?
Oh, you'd tooootally be there, really, and if you're not on the list (my bad, my blunder), just tell the bouncer you know me, but if he's not buying it (everyone says that) call me, I'm pretty sure I'll have my phone on vibrate, but if I don't pick-up (the vibrate doesn't really work), don't worry, I'll toootally notice you're not there and check the door guards and see if you showed up, and are in the line, just wave and I'll almost definitely most likely see you and make sure you get in.

Probably.

#4 If you were a mythical animal, would you be a Lyger or a Brontosaurus?
Ankylosaurus. The most bad-ass of all dinosaurs. It's got armored EVERYWHERE and a mace for a tail, which means he turns around and things BREAK.

#5 Name your fav ice cream flavor.
Soylent Green. It has this odd, meaty taste...

#6 If your life was a movie, what genre would it be? (romantic comedy, horror, documentary, etc)
Survival-horror. I'm really nervous about waking up and having to gun down my friends as zombies. You'd think imagining it helps, but it doesn't. Not really.

#7 What's the most competitive boardgame ever?
Illuminati by Steve Jackson. The game compels you to throw money at problems and mess with people... I always play The Network

#8 Water Parks or Amusement Parks?
Water parks. Amusement parks would be cooler if you could fall out of the rides. Stupid safety harnesses. If I had an amusement park, screw the safety harnesses. You'd have to sign a release-waiver to go in, and hold onto rides with your bare hands. Food would be free, to entice people to come, and the 24-hour entertainment network would just show "blooper" reels of people falling out of rides. It's called Dom & Tom : GleeTown.

#9 How powerful are Fortune Cookies in your decision-making process?
I just eat the cookie and give Tom the fortune.

#10 What is the best way you get your news?
People telling me things. Usually in person, 2 inches from my face. Then I get it.

Meet the others (so far): Joe, Mike, Tom, and Noelle!
