We’re a big dysfunctional family (only we can leave at five o’clock)
Navigating in this industry requires a team that can quickly adapt to our ever-changing industry. It also takes an intuitive understanding of what we do on a daily basis to make things happen. We thrive in a team environment, where we challenge each other to keep pushing forward. We understand egos won’t move the market – our hard work will.
Take a minute to enjoy the people that make up the GIX family. It’s a family composed of preps, hipsters, dweebs, bikers, dog-lovers, parents, athletes, and a lot more. We’ve composed an interesting set of people that keep our work interesting and lives less boring. You could say we’re pretty damn cool.

We Remember
We will always remember, Boone Anderson. An insanely competitive, plain spoken, albeit charismatic Team Lead at GIX. Boone was lost to a tragic accident in late 2021. He'll be remembered as a Leader who's competitiveness and drive came through whether guiding his GIX team to a record week or playing against the homies on the golf course. "Five bucks a guy..." was a common phrase he used to coax those around him into entering a bet...any bet. Golf, bet. Ponies, bet. Racing marbles, bet. His impact on GIX and those on his team will always be remembered and everyone at GIX will do their best to bring the same type of energy, effort, urgency and passion that he brought in the door with him everday. We've included his original bio from our site for you to enjoy reading and as a greater insight into who Boone was and why we love him.
Boone is just a dude who happens to be named after the famous American pioneer, Daniel Boone, and walks around the office calling everyone “cuh”. After his family did some investigation on their family tree, it came about that he was related to the real Daniel Boone. His dad liked the idea, but his mother not so much. After some persistent negotiating, his mom agreed just as long as he went by Boone.
Boone and his younger sister, Rebecca, were born in Las Vegas (pop. 600,000) when their parents decided to make to the move to Milford, NE (pop. 2,100). They were THRILLED to say the least. But they came around and now call Nebraska home. They both try to keep their parents young, but sometimes find the roles reversed with them trying to keep up with their parents. It’s pretty evident his parents aren’t regular parents; they’re the “cool” parents we all wish we had.
We’ve also noticed he seems to be Ms. Congeniality of the office by always getting second place. He got second in our golf tournament, second in our ping pong tournament, and second in everything else. He’s hit so many let points during our ping pong tournament that the point has now been named a “Boone.” He’s a retired Loper football player who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing. He’s also a Boston Red Sox fan who gets really into the Barstool Sports and fantasy leagues. He’s a mix of James Franco in the face with the personality of Tyrese Gibson in Fast and Furious.
Most likely to name his sons David and Crockett. We feel sorry for the second one.
What do you think you’re most known around the office for?
Using the net for points in ping pong.
Favorite Sports Team & Why?
Dallas Cowboys because they're America’s team and everyone hates them. Doesn’t make sense.

Classic question. Jeans can go for at least 4 days maybe 6. Sweats depend on if you sweat or not. Most of it depends on if you see the same people every day.
Have you ever ate/drank something out of the GIX fridge that wasn’t yours? If so, confess now you savage.
Cream cheese, ketchup, and like a drip drop of coffee creamer because we were out of sugar. I’m a firm believer in Karma, so I don’t get too carried away.
