We're so happy to welcome Ed Pearson to our team! But Ed...did we forget to mention that day 2 of onboarding involves attempting to break Ryan Kettrey’s legendary record of assembling one of these Lego sets blindfolded, with one hand tied behind his back, in under two minutes? No pressure! Welcome to the team! ??

He was not, in fact, the second coming of Larry Bird. But the NBA's loss was our gain. While Byron McClain's basketball career didn’t take off, becoming a tech geek and launching this company sure did—and we couldn’t be more grateful. To one of our fearless leaders, we wish you a happy birthday!
