“Andrew is the kind of guy who has been taking things apart since he was six. He started small with watches and Commodore, but isn’t that how all addictions go? When he was 18 he was running his first software company. I was skipping school.

As it happens, Andrew is really a brilliant marketing mind who just happens to know way too much about programming and technology to hide it away from the rest of us. Thus was born The Development Factory. You can’t fight destiny.

In soccer, Andrew’s friends refer to him as The Finisher. Mostly that makes me laugh. But in the context of getting things done I’ve never met anybody better. As he always says, “Starting is easy.”

“Suzanne has been wondering about the meaning of life since she was 3. At an early age she came to understand that there's a lot more to it than what's on the surface. Spiritually she's on a different plain than most of us.

Oddly enough she is very calculative and precise at the same time. Saying that she's productive doesn't even scratch the surface of her ability. She simply can’t be stopped. From the hazy place of, ‘What do I do next?’ she quickly transports you into the magical land of, ‘Oh, that's easy!’ and she does it with 20 things at once. I’ve begun to wonder if there's some sort of cape underneath her shirt.”
