Founder and CEO

Life is GRAND! I live in a country where people like me can follow their passions and pursue their dreams and I wake up every morning in sunny California to my brilliant life and business partner, Nick, and our menagerie of pets. We have three amazing children who are in college pursuing their own dreams. (Check out www.rachellauren.com if you like jazz!)

Design 'em and make 'em
(VP Design and Manufacturing)

I grew up in Santa Paula, then I spent a few years in the army where I learned to talk dirty, sleep standing up, and eat with a big spoon. After a BS in Engineering from Cal Poly, I worked for 10 years designing stuff in a big industrial factory (fun), then 20 years in the enterprise software industry (not fun). Then my wife asked me to go to work for her! (super fun)
