BILL CHESNEY

Born and raised in Michigan, Bill was the well behaved middle child stuck between 2 rebelious brothers. He learned at an early age that if he wanted something badly enough, he would never be allowed to have it.

This was a game changing thought for a 13 year old, but - he figured the key to having things of value was to value things that others consider worthless. So, Bill took to the local thrift stores and took up the sport of dumpster diving. From this he evolved a unique style; an eye for what things could look like instead of what they should look like.

In the mid 90's Bill started a band and hoped to ride it to the top. A life of late nights, music and road trips. But, when he realized that his home was a van - he started to re-think his forementioned value system. He left the band in 2000 and tried to find a city in Michigan that he could finally call home. Westland, Lake City, Kalamazoo, Cadillac and finally Grand Rapids.

Now married, Bill spends his days playing guitar and spending way too much time on Craig's List.

Josh Hamlet
The son of Lake City High School Alumni, Bill and Sarah, Joshua David Hamlet was the youngest of three beautiful children. As soon as Josh could walk, his parents strapped skis to his feet and took him to the top of Missaukee Mountain. His thick-mustached father showed him the ropes; and later - how to get big air and where to find the best powder.

When Josh got a little older he found a new love in dirt bikes. Not just riding, but learning how and why they worked. This sparked an interest in electronics and computers. He took quick to MS-DOS at age 10 and it was not long after that Josh would find himself in Mrs Walrad's 9th computer class, mastering the basics of databasing and teaching himself the finer points of ASCII art.

Later in life Josh also found himself in Grand Rapids. Tending bar on the top floor of one of the swankiest hotels in West Michigan by night and sleeping by day. If you can't find him networking at a local bar or in bed sleeping (dreaming up new and inovative PHP coding techniques), check Telluride, CO... in the deep pow!
