Born in Germany, made in Detroit, rewired in San Francisco. Aspiring aeronautical engineer turned 80′s-current entrepreneur via valet parking science, back-alleys and bullets. First to market for 30 years and that’s just the warm up round. Created industries where people thought were none. Exponential technology freak, burner, Jobs/Branson/Musk wanna-bee (but then again who isn’t), racing, yoga, surfing, making great wine and most important, drinking large quantities of it. Married my beautiful and awesome partner (I know what you’re thinking but she is a girl) 8 days after we met and have 3 of the most beautiful children to show for. Favorite line: ‘ When would right now be a good time?’
The Rainmaker. Surprisingly good salsa dancer with 25 years in valet parking, where salsa skiils are underappreciated. Fond of Irish whiskey and good red wine, but not together. Talks a lot (see Irish whiskey), but also listens really well. Dad, Skiier, scuba diver, reader and burner. Looks a bit like Ed Norton, and is not actually qualified to do brain surgery.

Mike hails from the land of beer & cheese, aka – Milwaukee, WI, but, now soaks up rays in Sunny CA…although, by soaking up rays, we mean staying indoors while slathered in 100+ spf sunblock. He’s our resident design guru & occasional problem solver / idea guy. Mike spent years as an executive for a Health Club Management firm, before deciding to follow his passion for art & design & transitioning into a creative field.
When not working on design solutions, Mike likes to chase food trucks, discover under the radar indie bands & read up on the upcoming robotic biocomputer / human convergence in the not too distant future, aka, the Singularity.

Cheryl comes from a teaching background, where she focused on teaching children how to take the perfect “selfie” and make the the epic “duck face”. When she realized that her four year old’s weren’t quite developmentally grasping the idea, she decided to go into design where selfies and duck faces are a daily occurrence.
Cheryl resides in Los Angeles, but grew up in the SF Bay Area where she claims all her talents developed. One of them being an undercover ninja and the other collecting and clipping coupons…for ninja related accessories. She has a background in Architectural Design and Early Childhood Education, which combined is “somehow” helping us with our extraordinary design dept.
Cheryl loves to cook and eat right after, but before that, she must take a picture and post it on Instagram…the world MUST know what she eats. They must. She loves to host events where a lot of eating, games, and “flying high fives” happen. She once hosted a uni-brow party to separate herself from the “mustache” crowd. It was pretty awesome. You might occasionally find Cheryl jumping out of planes or running around covered in mud in dangerous obstacle courses. She broke a nail & didn’t even cry about it…much.

Curtis was born way after the time he should have been, he’s a cowboy born in the technology era (his word and honor mean more to him then anything). When he wasn’t riding 2000lb bulls both as an amateur and professional, he found he loved electronics. Gained his electronics knowledge from the Navy and worked 10 years in a place that he can’t talk about fixing “Things”. Had a great opportunity to run the famous “Fountains of Bellagio”. Unfortunately, being in an office just didn’t suite his love for roaming (the range?). Loves going from place to place and getting issues resolved. Carves knowledge and figuring out how things work and fixing them or making them work one way or another. First and foremost, he’s a Dad and husband, golfs, reads when he can (tech and fantasy), can’t wait to find a fishing hole, loves to play sports, running (when his body stops breaking), tinkers in programing, and electronics. One day, he’ll make that cattle-drive if it kills him!

I served in the military for 4years as an infantry man, for the U.S. Army. The division I was with was the 101st Airborne. Battalion was 2nd 327 B Co. First platoon ( No Slack ).
When I got out of the military I went to school to get bachelors degree in computer science – network engineer. I ended up in Washington state going to WSU.
The reason for the move was I received a job offer to work with an automation company. They made the machines that package; McDonalds French fries, Arby’s French fries, StarBuck Coffee etc.
I am a master of photography, a technology guru, wannabe pro gamer, and cat trainer. Previous ventures includes VP of Misc. Stuff and Chief Seat Occupier. People say I am an awesome engineer because I can build a process that gets things done fast and easy, but that’s just me being crafty and lazy.
