Ryan's apartment is more sanitary than a Biosafety Level 4 research facility. This also shows in the code he writes. Ryan sharpened these skills during his undergrad years at MIT, and then subsequently as a program manager at Avid Technology. When anyone asks for "the force" behind WebNotes, we point to Ryan.

Bennett likes beer and poker. He wishes Ultimate Frisbee was an Olympic sport. Bennett acquired these tastes while pursuing his M.S. in computer science at Cambridge University. Upon his return to the states, he came to MIT for his PhD, but secretly hoped to drop out and do a startup. Which he did.

Programmer by day, man who dresses in a rubber bat suit and jumps off buildings by night. Sound familiar? Besides his cavalier exploits, Peter is the only member of the team silly enough to have gotten two degrees from MIT: one in computer science and one in brain and cognitive science.

Alex cogitum ergat est ("Alex thinks therefore he is"). Besides existing, he plays golf, reads for pleasure (gasp!), and tries to indulge in copious amounts of movie watching. Prior to WebNotes, Alex was a Senior Analyst at the Brattle Group, and before Brattle he was the CFO of a small storage and shipping company.

After graduating from MIT, Matt planned to leave Boston for California and never look back. Just a few months later, nostalgia and WebNotes brought him back. When he isn't doing work, you'll probably find him swimming laps at the MIT Z Center or enjoying a beer at the local pub.

Ken has connections to some of the best mooncakes this side of the Atlantic. Actually, both sides of the Atlantic. Ken went to both MIT and Harvard, which makes him the closest thing we have to a humanities major.
