Senior analyst Suzi is all about learning and making things. She designs knitting patterns for her Etsy store Nebulous Knits, focusing primarily on plush toys and educational models. She keeps freshwater planted aquariums, way too many houseplants and enjoys gardening in the summertime. She also hikes year round and brings her scruffy little dog Buddy along whenever he can be coaxed out from his blanket fortress.

Raegan was a biology major and spent graduate school concentrating on microbiology and biochemistry, so she loves all things science. But she enjoys spending time in the great outdoors doing things like backpacking, kayaking, and camping, which is handy because she relocated from Indiana to California, where mountains and water are plentiful, and now works remotely for us as a senior analyst. Raegan developed an interest in car things after her brake pads/rotors needed done and she decided to do them myself with a little help from Youtube. Now she does her own oil changes for fun and taught her nephews how to change the oil. She spends a lot of time doing periodic table trivia (which is as nerdy as it sounds) and playing chess.

Although his picture features a machete, senior analyst Brian is possibly the most laid-back person analyst Blackstone has ever hired. When he’s not writing up your reports, Brian can be found visiting national parks, playing his French horn in a community orchestra, jogging around the Summit City, and vociferously supporting the local minor league sports teams. Before joining Blackstone, Brian was an enlisted Marine, playing in a Marine Corps band based in Hawaii. He then attended the University of Utah, where he assisted in research efforts at the National Center for Veterans Studies, eventually graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.
