Many of people who have worked with Elizabeth over the years won’t be surprised to hear that she is that person who keeps things running smoothly here at DGCD. Elizabeth is an accountant by training, but she is a technologist by trade. She not only keeps DGCD’s business operating, but she is that person who makes certain that prototypes can be and are built through thick and thin. Elizabeth came to Colorado from Burbank (CA) and raised three now-grown Colorado kids. In her spare time, if she’s not traveling the world, you might find Elizabeth working on genealogy web sites or digitizing old photos of family members and “adopted” ancestors.

Mike usually leads DGCD firmware projects but is that rare talent who is just as talented developing circuits and designing electronic hardware. Mike is the resident “insane” cyclist, known for taking on 24-hour bike rides in the heat and wind of Texas and California. But worry not, he keeps surviving these endeavors, and it provides him plenty of time to think about design problems. Mike has two grown children and family that goes back generations in Texas.

Kyle has lived on Fort Collins most of his life. He is the resident fashionista here at DGCD. If you bump into him around town, he’s likely sporting some type of Red Sox paraphernalia, but you’ll also be impressed with his ability to wear bright, fully coordinated colors and make them look good. No one quite knows what time of day or night Kyle might be cranking on complex layout designs, but everyone is happy with the outcomes.
