R. Nelson Parrish doesn’t recall a time in his life when he was not in motion. Growing up in Alaska, he spent his childhood charging down slopes, pedaling over ridge lines, swimming across lakes, and hiking into the back country.

What we love about the Level is that it brings motion and playfulness into the workspace. As you play around with different stances and start to incorporate the spin, twist, and flow into your workday, you may notice that you are no longer situated directly in front of your workstation. You might need to learn the Penguin Walk. Brad, an early...
