The Team

---

 

	David Weekly CEO, Founder & Chairman   David has been programming since he was five and has coded for MIT, Harvard, Stanford, There.com, atWeb, and Legato. David wrote the first layman's description of MP3 in early 1997 and graduated in 2000 with a BS in Computer Science from Stanford, where he was a President Scholar and a finalist in the ACM International Programming Competition. He likes to throw hacker parties, fly helicopters, ride his motorcycle, and make useful things.
	Ramit Sethi Vice President of Marketing   Ramit leads marketing and usability for PBwiki. He dislikes people who confuse marketing with advertising. He has been the Director of Special Projects at the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, and is a consultant on emerging technologies to venture-capital firms in Silicon Valley. His blog, IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com, hosts over 100,000 readers per month. He is also the creator of the classic "You Have Died of Dysentery" T-shirt. Ramit is a graduate of Stanford University, where he received undergraduate and graduate degrees studying technology and psychology.
	Nathan Schmidt CTO   Nathan joined PBwiki following five years in development and engineering Telephia, the leader in wireless telephony market research and network performance benchmarking. Prior to Telephia Nathan was a co-founder of Scout Electromedia, which shipped the Modo, a pioneering wireless city-guide and marketing platform. A President Scholar, he received a BS in Computer Systems Engineering at Stanford University.
	Emily Marcroft Program Manager & Controller   Emily handles HR, finance, facilities, some customer support, catering, and anything else that might come up (as it inevitably does). Emily is a graduate of UC/Berkeley. Prior to joining the PBwiki team, Emily spent nearly 4 years at Reflectivity, Inc in multi-faceted admin and operational support positions, helping to sustain a brilliant group of semiconductor engineers, technicians, and their managers until the company was sold and the team disbanded in June of 2006. Despite lacking a university-level background in science and technology, Emily should be considered an indisputable citizen of Geek Nation.
	Brian Klug Director of Engineering   Brian joined PBwiki in November 2006 after co-founding an online community called MindSay in 2003. With over 12 years of software development and industry experience, he enabled the birth of a competitive blogging product with hundreds of thousands of users. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.
	Jim Blomo Systems Software Engineer   Growing up in the rough neighborhood of IRC's #crackz, Jim escaped the shadowy life of "reverse engineering" to become classically trained at UC Berkeley's EECS program. There he participated in all things nerdy: playing the Cal Marching Band, being a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar, and moving through the ranks of Residential Computing. After graduating, he entered the wild world of ops at A9.com, running Amazon.com's product search.
	Mike Bulajewski Senior UI Engineer   Mike couldn't decide if he wanted to create intuitive and beautiful designs, or write web applications that work, so he he came to PBwiki to do both. Mike brings skills in visual design, a love for intuitive interfaces, and the technical skills to bring them to life. He has worked as a freelance graphic designer, a performance engineer for Amdocs and a UI designer for Dun & Bradstreet, and holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Cal State Sacramento.
	Kristine Molnar Community Evangelist   Kristine received her first Mac at the age of seven and has been attempting to break into the ranks of geekdom ever since. With her nerdy impulses set aside, she set her sights on a career in philanthropy. Kristine earned an MA in International Political Economy and Development and worked as Executive Director for the Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation. Leaving New York for the Bay Area, Kristine decided to test her geek cred and seize her chance to work at a start up.  Check out her PBwiki Twitter here.
	Joël Franusic Junior Systems Engineer   Joël has been using GNU/Linux since Linux kernel 1.2.13. He spent a summer living in Rwanda while working for a local ISP, an experience which has instilled in him a love of travel. When he isn't helping to plan hacker parties, he likes to spend his time thinking about how one might store data for 10,000 years. Joël joins PBwiki after four years at Cuesta College in a system administration and network support role.
	Chris Yeh Vice President, Enterprise Marketing   Chris has been building Internet businesses since 1995. He has been a founder, founding employee, or seed investor in almost a dozen startups, including PBwiki, and advises a wide array of startups ranging from network equipment makers to vertical search engines. He liked his investment in PBwiki so much, he decided to join the company. Chris earned two degrees from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
	Tom "TK" Kuegler Head of Revenue   Since 1994, TK (as he is known to his friends) has been part of the Internet landscape.  Besides building 4 successful Internet software companies, he has been on the board or advised dozens others.  He is also the author or co-author of three books about Internet marketing.  Specializing in building scalable and predictable sales models, TK is helping to build that at PBwiki.
	Ian Danforth Support Engineer   Ian has the delightful task of trying to break PBwiki before users can and also listens to all the amazing ideas users have for improving PBwiki. After graduating with a degree in Psychology from Whitman College, where he ran a cadre of technical support staff, he worked briefly at Google and did osteoporosis research at Stanford as well as a small clinic in Laurel, Maryland. He has published work on addiction to MMOs (Just say, "No!") and he enjoys all things CogSci.
	Mark Christian Software Engineer   A recent import from Canada, Mark has been glued to a computer screen since the dark days of MS-DOS. Now that he's in the Bay Area, he's soaking up geek culture and trying to change the world with PBwiki. Mark believes in the potential of collaborative media and is excited to be helping to build Something That Matters. He has a B.S in Computer Science from Dalhousie University in Halifax.
	Rachel Pennig Support Guru   Rachel has her B.A. in Art History & Studio Art and an MLIS in Library Science but is really a techno-geek at heart. She's leaving the Dewey Decimal world behind to explore her true love; helping librarians and educators discover and innovate with technology. An avid old school gamer, Rachel will absolutely wipe the floor with you in a Dr. Mario match.
