Hard to find a place to eat lunch that has any character. This place has it in spades and their sandwiches are delicious!

We didn't get a chance to snorkel here, but judging by the dolphins, surfers, and hoards of snorkelers it must be nice!

On top of being a great company to work for, intuit, and more specifically my boss let me work on some pretty col projects. I didn’t shoot the interviews for this piece, but I did shoot broll and edit. Have a look below:
