FOUNDER & CEO

A cancer survivor who when faced with alternatives, to get busy living or get busy dying, Bob chose to get busy living. Working outside the box or even creating a new box from scratch comes naturally to Bob, and his family, friends, and colleagues know him as a dreamer, thinker, inventor, and builder.

Bob is inspired by Teddy Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena speech and Dale Wimbrow’s Guy in the Glass poem. Both are on his office wall.

Bob coaches the Aces, Emet Surgical’s beach volleyball team, a job he takes very seriously.

Gaia is a theatre and music lover, who in her free time is studying Arabic. She enjoys a nice hummus lunch, and spending time with her family and friends.

Gaia is new to beach volleyball, but her passion for the sport led her to be named captain of the Emet Surgical Aces.

DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE EU & UK

Ofri is a former IDF commander who was responsible for training recent immigrants. She leads our development efforts in the EU and UK.

Ofri is a capable multi-tasker, able to work with Gaia while simultaneously correcting Bob’s Hebrew grammar and accent.

DIRECTOR OF TEAM WELLNESS

A pure-bred Broder Collie we rescued, Patch is a comforting presence in our Denver office.

Considering he is paid in hugs, treats, and kibble we understand completely.
