Matthew Larson | Chief Technology Officer

Matt has been the emperors translator of holy texts for five years. He only takes on the task of translating the most dangerous languages that would melt the mind of any mortal. Though after losing a battle to a man with undisputed Jenga powers, all his worldly possessions were taken. This is because he did not translate the mans dialect correctly and understand the rules of the game. He has now left his emperor and pledged his life to teaching the young these mind boggling languages. So that they may not make the same mistakes as he has.

Gabe | Blog Updater

Mr. Gabe A, used to find happiness in the small things, tightening bolts, designing parts and fabricating them. But now that he is older his lust for challenge has far exceeded the capacity his body can take. The only way he has kept his slowly deteriorating body alive is through BEEF and designing planetary gear sets without the use of math.

Trent | Builder

Trent is our newest Padawan to the ways of the TimeCrafters. He has armed himself with the tools of the trade: hex-key-drivers, nut-drivers, and the wrenches of 5.5mm. He will be apprenticing himself under the careful tutelage of the building clan. As he follows the strict guidelines of the Master/Padawan relationship, we will see his powers of the design grow until he too joins the rank of Knight.

Ben | The Builder

The farm was quiet that night of September 23, a cold soft breeze rustled Bens hair as he gazed at the planes of wheat he had worked hard to cultivate. A golden glow illuminated his face from the light reflecting from the sun onto the moon and then onto the wheat to his face. Everything was still in that golden glow, still and peaceful. Ben sighed and felt at peace. But that peace wasn't long lasting... The gold turned to red as from descending from the the moon was Dan with his hand outstretched inviting Ben to play Jenga. Will ben accept this challenge? "Interesting" Ben 2023, before corruption

Scott Badger | The Electrical Engineer

Scott grew up on a resort building cabins. He went to North Dakota State University in the late 90s discovering his love of math. His first job was as an electrical design engineer for Intelligent Lighting Controls. In 1995 he became a test engineer for Trane BAS. He currently works for Boston Scientific as a component engineer developing pacemakers, defibrillators, and heart vision systems. His wife and 4 children live in North Branch, MN with a daughter presently involved with robotics. His favorite past-times include camping, skiing, hiking, Bible study, any board game, and scuba diving. It has been his honor to work with this very talented group of future engineers. They have learned Java, web development, 80x20 x-bar assembly, drafting, and foremost teamwork!
