More About Joel

With more than 30 years in the software industry, Joel has watched technology evolve from the mainframe era to today’s world of AI, LLMs, and intelligent agents. Along the way, he has built systems for startups and enterprise organizations, tackled complex technical challenges, and developed a reputation for approaching problems with logic, creativity, and a healthy dose of humor.

Joel’s got into tech early in life. As a student, he helped his school district set up technology and equipment after working his way through all the available classes. Since then, his work has spanned document management, real estate and MLS systems, mortgage CRM, title insurance, cable and telecommunications, e-commerce, and enterprise homebuilding. 

Today, Joel is focused on the next major wave of technology: AI. He has shifted his attention toward large language models (LLMs) and AI agents, bringing decades of software architecture and engineering experience to this rapidly changing field. Joel prides himself on taking ambiguous business requirements and turning them into practical, working solutions - and finding creative ways to make existing systems work better.

Outside of technology, Joel has spent his entire life in the mountains, growing up near Rocky Mountain National Park. He learned to ski as a kid and still enjoys the outdoors, particularly gold panning, treasure hunting, and rockhounding. 

Joel and his wife have been married for 30 years. They have two daughters, whom Joel considers his proudest accomplishment. The empty nesters live in a bustling household that includes two pugs, a Chow/Border Collie mix, and an albino axolotl.

Whether he’s architecting a complex software solution or searching for something interesting in the dirt, Joel brings curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to think outside the box to everything he does.

Random fact: Joel owns one square foot of land in Scotland, which technically makes him a laird.

More About David

David isn’t big on titles (many of the FYIN team members selected their own job titles), but technically speaking, he is our Managing Director. And founder. And owner. He’s the guy with the entrepreneurial spirit, the soaring vision, and the will to make it all happen.

Although we sometimes tease David about our theory that he only sleeps about 45 minutes a night, he does get a lot done in a day. He also leverages one of his most critical skills for the leader of a technology company: bringing other people up. Several of our developers did not start off in tech. David identifies the best and brightest in a variety of fields (like bartending and construction!) and recognizes in them a solid work ethic and capacity to learn and grow.

While many technical people have a tendency toward introversion, David is a rare combination of being highly technical and a “people person.” He prides himself on leveraging technology in ways that other people don’t. He is, of course, a Certified Umbraco Master. David began teaching himself to write code at a young age and later started FYIN in 1999. Since then, he has built the company into an Umbraco-centric digital marketing powerhouse. As a certified Gold Partner, FYIN is considered to be one of the top Umbraco firms in the U.S.

David is the prototypical “small-town boy” who later moves to the Big City. He has lived in Denver for several years and enjoys the typical outdoor pursuits (like skiing and golfing) that Colorado’s favorable weather allows. David also has a zeal for all things aeronautical. To date, he has logged over 900 hours of flight time and is instrument-rated. Recent flights have taken him to Catalina, Las Vegas, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, Moab (Arches, Balancing Rock), and many other iconic locations.  

David is a proud father of three children. We’re betting that at least one of the three starts a company before the age of 12.

More About Dan

Wisconsin native. Seasoned Systems Architect. Developer. Car guy.

These are just a few of the terms one might use to describe Dan, who joined the FYIN team in 2018. Dan brings with him a wealth of experience in development, problem-solving, systems integration, and architecture planning and implementation. He prides himself on having the ability to view a technical challenge from many angles and finding the most efficient path to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Dan lives in Mukwonago, a suburb of Milwaukee, with his family. He and his wife are the proud parents of a son and daughter, both of whom are in college.

When he can peel himself away from his keyboard, Dan enjoys motorsports and motorsports engineering. Like many developers, he likes to know how things work - and that includes engines.

In addition to motorsports, Dan also enjoys travel, photography, boating, and downhill skiing.

Random fact: Dan’s favorite palindrome is RACECAR.

More About Chris

Chris is an Umbraco MVP and Umbraco Certified Master with a passion for technology, creativity, and - most importantly - people. A natural problem-solver and curious thinker, Chris loves coming up with ideas, taking things apart to understand how they work, and drawing on his many years of experience to find creative solutions. He was an early adopter of AI and continues to leverage it in both large and small ways. 

Chris studied Electronics and Communications at the University of Plymouth in the UK. His early career included working for an online bookseller that aimed to compete with Amazon, where he developed an algorithm to recommend books to customers - an early glimpse of his knack for combining technology and creativity.

Technology wasn't always the plan, though. As a child, Chris dreamed of becoming an architect and later considered designing microchips. His curiosity and love of figuring out how things work ultimately led him into the world of technology and web development.

Outside of work, Chris is a devoted husband and dad to two busy children. Whatever activity they choose (competitive cheer, anyone?), he’s there to cheer them on (and to serve as a chauffeur, too!). 

Chris is very musical and once taught swing dance lessons, which is where he met his wife. In addition to being an avid dancer, he’s also been known to pick up the trumpet. When he lived in the UK, he sang in BBC Proms concerts - a prestigious annual festival.   

Chris has a wide range of interests, including bread baking, cycling, skiing, music, books, and movies. As an Umbraco developer and active member of the community, Chris is a familiar face at Umbraco events around the globe. He’s hard to miss because he wears patterned shirts that are certainly … memorable. 

Some of Chris's favorite adventures have included traveling through Hawaii and touring France. Whether he's exploring a new place, learning how something works, baking bread, or tackling a new technical challenge, curiosity is never far away.

Fun fact: Chris once took apart a record player simply because he wanted to understand how it worked. That curiosity still defines him today.

More About Claudia

Claudia tends to straddle two worlds. She’s an introvert who enjoys people. She’s an English Major who has a deep appreciation for technology. After 25+ years in the IT industry, she feels right at home here at FYIN. She takes advantage of her years of experience working in the Umbraco CMS by serving as a Partner Advocate. Claudia’s role involves project coordination and scheduling (AKA “herding the cats”), as well as working with our client partners to ensure that their needs are met. She's also our KB (KnowledgeBase) whiz and usually has an outrageous number of browser tabs open at any given time. 

Originally from Northern Virginia, Claudia has resided in Green Bay, Wisconsin for over 25 years. When she’s not working, she enjoys practicing yoga, writing, walking her dogs, conquering jigsaw puzzles, and taking on home improvement projects that make her husband nervous. She also loves the ocean and hopes to live closer to one someday. Claudia has one daughter, a musical theatre kid who's away at college. She admits to being a “crazy dog lady” and has spent the last two decades volunteering for rescues and shelters.

All-time favorite song: “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” by The Police. It’s a big enough umbrella!

More About Scott

Umbraco Master: Almost as cool as a Dungeon Master, but infinitely more useful to our client partners. Scott, a member of the FYIN team for over eight years, wears the Umbraco Master title with pride and has achieved every certification that Umbraco offers. Give him a technical challenge and he’ll master it. Scott wears lots of hats. He deftly handles all forms of development including front-end, back-end, and server architecture. You’ll even find him running our laser engraving machine. Scott is not someone we hide in a back room so that he can write code all day; he interfaces directly with our client-partners and shares his expertise firsthand.

Originally from the Milwaukee suburbs, Scott took a leap of faith and moved to Denver several years ago. Colorado’s better-than-Wisconsin weather means that he can get outdoors more often, riding his motorcycle and playing disc golf (but not typically at the same time). While the motorcycle might lead you to believe that he’s the rebellious sort, Scott admits to a pet peeve that paints a slightly different picture: he hates messy code.

Something people are surprised to learn: Scott sports several tattoos and piercings and has been known to sit still for up to 11 hours for a tattoo session.

More About Hyon

Hyon ("rhymes with neon") joined the FYIN team as a .NET Developer in 2019. Hyon was born in Korea but has spent most of his life in Colorado. He emigrated to the US in 1984, when he was but a wee lad. He later earned a B.S. in Math from Colorado School of Mines in Golden.

Hyon brings many technical strengths to our team. He has a solid background in C# and the Microsoft Web stack. He holds a certification in Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate for Web Applications.  

The best developers are self-motivated, curious, and never satisfied with “good enough.” Hyon fits the bill on all of those qualities. He doesn’t consider the task done until it’s something he can be proud of. Hyon is methodical and focused, but isn’t afraid to have a little fun at the same time. He is generally a positive thinker and a friendly soul, but do not get him started on improper turn signal usage.

Like many Coloradans, he enjoys outdoorsy activities like mountain biking. He also indulges his creative side through photography. Of course, as a parent, Hyon directs some of his excess energy into chasing his kids. He enjoys sharing his Korean heritage with his children and often rings in each New Year with traditional Korean food.

Random fact: If you’re also a bike nerd, you may be impressed to know that he has been known to pedal up Lookout Mountain in under 26 minutes.

More About Cassio

Cássio hails from Brazil. He considers São Sepé to be his hometown, but he has also lived in Porto Alegre. Cássio enjoys traveling and has journeyed as far as Patagonia in the far southern reaches of South America (basically, the last stop before Antarctica). 

Like many members of the FYIN team, Cássio holds several Umbraco certifications. He earned an undergraduate degree in Information Systems and a Masters in Engineering from Universidade Luterana do Brasil. His list of technical skills is extraordinarily long and includes everything from .NET to C# to Raspberry Pi. One noteworthy accomplishment: upon the conclusion of his IT studies in Brazil, he created a smart home application and presented it on national television.

Cássio’s hobbies include building electronics, watching Netflix, playing sports, and making music. He prides himself on being detail-oriented and having a strong focus on excellence. His innate curiosity means that he is always researching new technologies and finding new fields to explore.

Something people are surprised to learn: Because Cássio tends to have a laid-back demeanor, it may come as a surprise to know that he is a martial arts expert and practices Tae Kwon Do.

More About RJ

Unlike many Coloradans, RJ does not ski, snowboard, or bike through the mountains. When the authorities find out, he’ll likely be escorted to the Rockies and told not to come back until he develops an appreciation for the great outdoors. In the meantime, RJ enjoys playing retro video games like Super Mario World. He’s also an enthusiastic fan of stand-up comedy. Lewis Black and Eddie Izzard are among his favorite comedians. 

RJ is a certified nopCommerce developer; achieving that certification was no small feat! RJ is FYIN’s Director of eCommerce but is in no way limited to eCommerce work. He’s a well-rounded full-stack developer who can take on virtually any challenge. RJ prides himself on his ability to dig into code, identify issues or inefficiencies, and relay that information in a way that makes sense even to non-technical folks. He also enjoys mentoring junior developers. 

RJ grew up knowing that he wanted to be a developer and wrote his first program at just 13 years of age. He later studied Computer Science in college. Originally from South Dakota, RJ grew up in a military family and moved around quite a bit before settling in the Denver area in 2008. He is the proud dad of three children (one grown and two youngsters). RJ describes himself as funny, calm, and understanding, traits that surely come in handy when raising children. 

Random fact: RJ is known as a “hat guy” and has an impressive collection of headgear. His co-workers are waiting to see if he shows up in a stovepipe hat a la Abraham Lincoln. 

More About John

When she’s not flexing her design and development skills, Kristin enjoys true crime documentaries, puzzles, and trivia. She loves to explore design trends, particularly as they relate to sustainability and eco-friendliness. She recently bought her first house (woohoo!) and is enjoying all the little projects that come with it.

Random Fact: Kristin wants nothing to do with ketchup (and no, spelling it catsup won’t make it any more appealing to her). Other condiments are fine, but ketchup? No.

More About Tony

He found a niche in sports and fitness photography, even booking some commercial clients. 

Random fact: While most people would agree that how you pronounce the word “caramel” depends largely on regional differences, Tony would like you to know that there is only one pronunciation: care-ah-mel. There will be no further debate. 

More About Jordan

Meet Jordan! He's a creative problem solver with a particular affinity for the 4th of July. When asked to describe himself, Jordan sometimes adds “tired” to the list of adjectives. He is, after all, a busy dad to two tween girls (and no, he seldom gets an adequate amount of hot water for his showers). Jordan is married to his college sweetheart; the two girls are joined by one well-loved dog. 

Jordan grew up in Kentucky and often finds himself missing the beauty of the Bluegrass State. His career began in radio with an emphasis on music management. Jordan holds a BA in Music Industry (with an emphasis on the performance/business side of music) and an MS in Entertainment Business. He’s comfortable on stage in front of a crowd but also enjoys the behind-the-curtain aspect of entertainment. 

A decade ago, Jordan moved to Colorado and has come to appreciate the beauty of the Rockies (a close second to Kentucky!). His career expanded into project management, which was a natural fit for Jordan’s problem-solving and communication skills. Like many PMs, he tends to be a jack of all trades and will happily tackle anything from content to web updates. He also provides himself on being flexible and passionate, which are attributes that serve him well in our fast-changing industry.

More About Peter

Peter is a New York-born graphic and web designer currently based in Denver, Colorado. With roots as diverse as his skill set, Peter brings a unique perspective to everything he creates - shaped by a rich multicultural upbringing and a relentless drive to build.

Peter was raised in a close-knit family alongside his younger brother. His father, of Japanese heritage and raised in Brazil, worked as a roofer, while his mother, a native of Paraguay, worked as a secretary. That hardworking household left a lasting impression. Peter originally set his sights on becoming a software engineer, but a passion for art took root when he was in high school and eventually steered him toward design. After earning a degree in economics and completing a graphic design internship, he found his calling at the intersection of creativity and strategy.

Peter isn't your typical designer. He approaches his craft from all angles - branding, web, print, and beyond - bringing the same builder's mindset to design that drives his work as a founder and contributor to non-profit initiatives. He seldom takes days off, doesn't shy away from a challenge, and is all but immune to negative feedback. His thick skin and low-key demeanor make him a welcome collaborator on any team or project.

One of his proudest milestones was graduating from college and making the leap from New York to Denver - a move he made alongside his girlfriend, whom he met back home. In Colorado, he's embraced a new chapter, recently adding a dog to the family and spending his free time sightseeing, golfing, gaming, watching sports, and staying close to the people he loves.

More About Daniel

Daniel started his life as an “Army brat” who grew up moving from place to place: Italy, Washington State, and Colorado. Later settling into the Rockies, he's been an official Coloradan since 1977, rooted to the high country while holding on to that early habit of adaptation.

He started coding at eleven. The year was 1984, and his family had just brought home their first computer. He was only allowed access during designated hours, so he did what any determined problem-solver does: he wrote software in his head and made it a reality on his next pass at the family computer. That discipline - working through complexity before ever touching the machine - never left him.

Twenty-five years into a career as a full-stack .NET engineer with a heavy focus on agentic AI, Daniel still approaches the work the way he once approached a blank sheet: as an artist. As a kid, he wanted to travel and sell art - realism, portraiture, charcoal and pencil, the kind of work that demands patience and precision. Software development, to him, is the same practice in a different medium: finding a solution where none appears to exist, building something out of nothing. 

Daniel describes himself as curious and persistent. Like many developers, his brain came programmed with dogged determination to find a way through any technical challenge.

When he's not at the keyboard, he's outside. Camping is a long-held passion. Daniel is a proud dad - his journey to fatherhood is one of his proudest achievements. He dotes on his daughter and is thrilled to have a grandson as well.

Fun fact: Daniel has thoughts - seriously considered ones - to live out of a Jeep. He has two cats, a mother and daughter, who may have opinions about this.
