In this, the last of our Funnelcake founder stories, I present to you another member of Project Richochet, Stephen Pope. More than just a tech guy, Stephen is a great idea man and has a good sense of humor, too. His too-modest official bio follows:

Stephen Pope is a man of many hidden talents, including a recent foray into Jazz piano and the uncanny ability to avoid photos. He is also the proud father of a new baby girl who is about to change his life forever. Steve has a B.S. in Computer Science and has been working with technology for over 20 years, specializing in high end open source software development. Stephen has co-founded several companies and has a great ability to translate high level concepts into functioning systems that provide a solid platform for success.

You are about to find out.

We can do no better than to go to the source, the founders themselves, to learn the stories that they tell about their lives. This is the first such story; there will be more in future posts. Read it and be enlightened:
