"Glue guy"

Trospe is extraordinarily smart. While he is superbly smart, what sets him apart is his ability to form friendships with such a large group of people. When I talk to him about a project I am bullish on, he will often reply with some insane story such as "Oh yeah, I hopped in a cab with him once at a club". Trospe is the person you want to be friends with due to his ability to constantly make connections.
