Jason West
Graphic Designer and Web Developer

Ryan Sexton
Web Programmer

If Ryan’s community involvement is limited right now, it’s because he and his wife recently had their first child – a beautiful daughter named Imogen. As any new parent knows, child-raising is probably the biggest gift you’ll ever make to your community.
