Ted Sullivan
CEO, Fearless Leader
Superpowers: Booming Voice, Keynote
Ted's passion for youth coaching and entrepreneurship inspired him to start and build GameChanger Media, Inc. He pitched at Duke University, and in the minor leagues for the Cleveland Indians before receiving his MBA from Harvard Business School.
Kiril Savino
CTO, Resident Optimist
Superpowers: Emacs, Redbull, Hyperbole
Kiril was that kid in left field playing with the grass who never caught a fly ball, but as Co-Founder & CTO of GameChanger Media, he hits cleanup for the technology team. He has a BA in Japanese from Middlebury College, and has built high-scale software for companies including DoubleClick, HigherOne, and ShopWiki.
Jerry Hsu
Engineer
Superpowers: Xcode, Vi, Speed Talking
Combining his loves of mobile computing and baseball (we forgive him his Phillies fandom), Jerry jumped at the chance to join GameChanger. Jerry brings his wealth of experience in iPhone and Web development to the team. He received his M.Eng from Cornell University.
Jeff Kamrath
Product Evangelist
Superpowers: WebEx, Frequent Flier Miles
A University of Virginia graduate, Jeff earned a B.S. in Government, was named a two-time All-Conference pitcher and played in the Tampa Bay Rays minor league system. As a private instructor, travel team coach, and MLB Scout Development Program graduate, Jeff knows coaches, parents, and scouts from Little League to the Big Leagues.
Sean Wheeler
Problem Solver
Superpowers: Mailings, User Research, Great Hair
Sean joins the GameChanger team having gained experience in grass-roots marketing while working for LacrosseRecruits.com. He earned his B.A. in History from Kenyon College, where he was an All-Conference lacrosse player and team captain. He gained coaching experience at the NCAA DIII level, while serving as a graduate assistant. He is excited by travel, recreational sports and new challenges, but tormented (willingly) by HTML.
Andrew Huling
Engineer
Superpowers: PyCharm, Hoodie, Idealism
A veteran entrepreneur and former professional baseball player, Andrew joins the GameChanger team from Effici, the technology consulting company he founded in 2002. He earned both his BA and MS in Computer Science from Harvard University where as a senior he was named the Ivy League Baseball Player of the Year.
Rob Hunter
Product Designer
Superpowers: TextMate, InDesign, Beard
A killer T-Ball hitter, Rob joins GameChanger after doing tours of duty in digital product design, journalism and media startups. His passion is making interfaces invisible and fantastically usable. He received his BA (hons.) in Journalism while in Scotland, though unfortunately his accent is authentic Nebraskan.
Dane Menten-Weil
People Person
Superpowers: Desk, ScreenFlow, Humor
Drafted out of the University of Colorado, Dane is the youngest GameChanger. Once an intern, he moved quickly through the farm system and made the starting lineup. Dane is transferring to a NYC school this fall to continue at GameChanger while finishing a Business degree. Dane can be found helping customers and in the video tutorial studio, and outside the office at the ice rink, in the mountains, and everywhere in between.
David Fioretti
Engineer
Superpowers: Phone Destruction, XML, Height
David is an entrepreneurial, technical, and athletic triple-threat. With a Bachelor's in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, a Master's in Technological Entrepreneurship from Northeastern University and a successful NCAA baseball career under his belt, he plays all over the field for the GameChanger technology team.
Doug Woos
Engineer
Superpowers: Emacs, Parentheses, Epee
Doug hails from Swarthmore College, where he majored in Computer Science while completing minors in Mathematics and Philosophy. A Cleveland Indians fan and competitive fencer, Doug's as comfortable in the Linux kernel as with an epee in hand.
Ben Yelsey
Engineer
Superpowers: PyCharm, MacVim, Dubstep
From fencing came precision, from skiing, speed. From his degree in Physics, a complete understanding of the force. You say junior engineer, we say Jedi Engineer. Post training at Swarthmore College, Ben dual-wields for the GameChanger tech lineup.
Eric Han
Test Engineer
Superpowers: Python, JavaScript, Exactitude
Building is to hardware as breaking is to software. As an Electrical Engineer out of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Eric has made it clear that he has little to no sympathy for software. When not pinpointing his first serve against Kiril on the tennis court, he is in the GameChanger office hunting bugs. It is rumored that he has scored a nine inning game in under two minutes.
Wai-Jee Ho
Graphic Designer
Superpowers: Illustrator, The T.A.R.D.I.S.
Wai-Jee Ho was born and raised in New York and is not intimidating at all. A graduate of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Wai-Jee stumbled out with a Bachelor's degree and a penchant for typography, gradients, and coffee with milk and no sugar. She believes that together, we could upgrade the universe.

Engineer

He joins us from e-commerce provider Next Jump, where he served as head of mobile engineering. Mike graduated Cum Laude from Princeton with a BSE in Computer Science and a Certificate in Robotics and Intelligent Systems. When he's not building iPhone apps or being a devoted sports fan, he's usually enjoying live music or dabbling in photography.
W. Spencer Wright
Office Luddite
Superpowers: Latin, Stats, Snark
Born, raised, and schooled in Vermont, Spencer graduated from Middlebury College and promptly joined the GameChanger team. He puts his sports knowledge and writing skills to good use for both social media and customer service. Although happy to write about sports, we think it might be a way to compensate for his lack of a championship by any of his professional teams.
Travis Thieman
Numbers Guy
Superpowers: RStudio, Excel, Sorcery
Travis serves as GameChanger's data maven, using his analytical skills from the world of management consulting, survival instincts from the hills of West Virginia, and cheery disposition from Swarthmore College. He has a hard time controlling his emotions around graphs.
Chris Ricca
Mobile Product
Superpowers: TextMate, Git, Bianchi
Chris studied Architecture Design at Yale University, where he graduated with honorable distinction in Glue Sticks. He decided that computers were more fun to play with than bricks and cement, and started designing and coding experiences for people's laptop screens instead. He now works on the Android and iOS apps at GameChanger, and brews coffee when it runs out. Chris brings over 20 years of experience trying to help his mother use really confusing software.

Molly Sullivan
Office Babe
Superpowers: Competitive Napping
Molly is the least productive member of the GameChanger team. Her attendance is inconsistent and she sleeps on the job. But she's always happy to be included, and is especially friendly during lunchtime. A labrador / pit bull mix, Molly's lucky path lead her from Catawba County Animal Services in Newton, NC to the Sugar Mutts Rescue in Brooklyn, NY where she was ultimately matched with CEO Ted Sullivan and his wife Margaret in July 2010. Molly is especially proud of her recent weight loss - 15 lbs in two years!
