Tell him about the last great book you read.

Mr. Palmer hails from a really cool town in Wisconsin. It’s called Appleton. You’ve probably never heard of it. Sometimes when no one is looking, he sits at his desk and does some work. Quinn is a recent recipient of some company-wide praise, which has elevated his sense of self to a ridiculous amount. When he is not sitting upon his throne, providing world champion customer service, he can be seen in the background of “Game of Thrones” as an extra. That’s also a pretty cool show that you’ve never heard of.

His favorite movie is “Dragonheart.”
