  Automator/Jr. Developer

  I am a Jr. Developer and QA Automator. I write automated tests for SurveyGizmo as well as normal development. A graduate of the University of Colorado's Philosophy department, I somehow managed to land in software development, which I love. In my free time I snowboard, hike, play video games, read and hang out with my hedgehog Mr. Scoots McGoots. No one suspects that I am actually a robot, although I am not part of skynet, that guy is a jerk.

  Pretty cool guy. He designs the internets and isn't afraid of anything. He'll also be happy to embarrass you in Super Smash Bros if you ever challenge him.

  Marketing Coordinator
• Griffin Kay
• Bret Kershner
• James Kircher
• Tom Langworthy
• Seth McClaine
• Chris McCown

  Chris is one of our stellar support superstars. He comes from a background in customer support from a variety of companies including Dell and IBM. When he’s not making our customers smile, he can be found riding/working on/yelling at his 1975 Honda CB550, playing board games, and adventuring around Colorado. He wrestled a bear once: it ended in a debate about the morality of wrestling bears. Very boring story really... He also fought a shark, but that's not really proper dinner conversation. Also, he sincerely believes that if he plays enough Tetris he will achieve enlightenment.

  Pharlain Ross

  Pharlain is a reformed pastry chef from Upstate New York. She is currently trying to transition into a more tech based career by participating in her very own blog based reality show. She lives with Bronte and Kafka, the world's two friendliest cats, and her partner in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Denver. She suffers from a cephalopod phobia making the landlocked Colorado her dream state. She spends her time reading about marketing research and survey methodology and trying to become a survey writing fiend. When she's not doing that she likes to cook, read, or roll dice in a tabletop RPG. She is very grateful to not be on a real reality show so she does't have to worry about her hair.

  Crystal Sylvester

  Customer Advocate/Technical Writer/Documentation Specialist

  By day Crystal spends her time advocating for customers, writing tutorials, and helping to build the overall documentation on the Support site. However, she spends her night life as a hyperactive time traveler. As a result of a lab accident involving caffeine, lightning, and a blue-footed booby bird, she is eternally from 27 minutes in the future. Constantly aware of the reality- bending paradoxes that seek to erase her from existence, she vowed to never use her limited foresight for material gains. Mostly she uses her phenomenal abilitys to win games of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Do not challenge her, you will lose.
