    Kenneth Wang We had a good laugh about this together didn't we buddy? I'm glad we shared a similar type of stupidity for humour.

    Vicky Xiong I visit the Toronto office every summer for the past few years. I had learned that in Canada, they carry a lot more novelty Kit Kat flavors than the US, so I was going to try to get a few bars to bring back to the States. But when I tried to look in a few stores near the Okta office, all the other US tourists seemed to have gotten to them before I did; I wasn't able to find any! I mentioned this when I was casually chatting with David the next day, over coffee. That evening, he sent me these pictures. Apparently on the way home, he went to a store by his house, and bought ALL the bars off the shelf! He brought them to me the next day, I was in absolute disbelief! I brought them back home to share with San Francisco colleagues, friends, and family, making lots of people very happy, and it was all thanks to David.

    Igor Babiy David was the only one who agreed to help me to pickup my dog from the airport when I moved to Canada. He rented a van and dropped me to the YYZ cargo section and waited patiently there. Then he helped me to load the kennel and drove me back home. He was that kind of person who could always come and help with whatever you ask. On the video he's saying to my dog - "Horoshiy malchik" - "good boy"

    Haoyu Li Abdullah, David and I (haoyu) went to Las Vegas for DefCon 2018, and we had such a good time hanging around. David and I woke up 3 AM in the morning to line up for Okta to get our official tickets, and he is so passionate about the LED gadget the the seminar provided, he convinced me to buy 5 of them, and I did !
