Maxum Cartolano

Jr. Paw-sitivity Coordinator, Security Agent

Maxum Cartolano designated himself as a full-time employee of NetVEST. As Junior Pawsitivity Coordinator, he works in conjunction with Verene to keep staff morale high. His piercing, manly gaze, playful clodhopper goofiness, and jiggly puppy body help him make fast friends of staff and clients alike. Considering himself "large and therefore, in-charge", Maxum assists Verene in enforcing building security with deep-pitched, rapid fire barking...thereby scaring the bejeebers out of any man, woman, or dog that happens to be passing by his window. He takes great joy in the dichotomy of his roles at NetVEST. After a busy workday, Maxum looks forward to heading home in his parent's SUV, where his preference is to sit backwards, collecting his thoughts.
