Governing Body
Tysha "Tosh"
Director / Ship Runner
Can often be found walking around with a scowl that suggests deep disappointment in the state of humanity. Say hello and it immediately melts into a warm, genuine smile that proves he actually likes people. Quiet, thoughtful, and deeply caring. Lifelong artist, entrepreneur (spelling ability still under review), outdoorsman, and teacher. Runs the ship. Pretends not to enjoy it.
Lisa "Pooh Bear"
Secretary / Order Restorer
The reason anything gets finished, signed, or remembered. Keeps the rowdy fellas in line and pointed in roughly the correct direction. Loving, firm, and absolutely capable of restoring order with a single look. Do not make her reach for the chancla. You have been warned.
Jason "Big Red"
Program Director
Over six feet of mustachioed Viking energy paired with the softest, kindest, most sincere heart in the group. Looks like he should be pillaging villages. Actually just gets things done while everyone else is still talking about getting things done. Calm, dependable, and relentlessly effective.
Jay "The Tog"
Director of Arts
Jay is the kind of person who listens first, thinks second, and speaks third. Once you've earned his friendship, you've got it for life, whether you asked for it or not. He has never met a friend in need that he wasn't willing to help, usually without being asked. A talented photographer and artist with an eye for detail that borders on supernatural, Jay is a perfectionist who somehow remains completely modest about his abilities. Also known as Ben's long-lost, better-looking twin.
Ben "Just Ben"
Director of Community Engagement
Ben has mastered the rare ability to be quiet and reserved when the situation calls for it, then become the life of the party the moment he feels at home. Genuine, generous, and fiercely loyal, he embodies the kind of friend everyone hopes to have and few are lucky enough to find. Known for his brutal honesty, Ben believes the truth is a gift, even when it comes wrapped in sandpaper. Fortunately, it always comes from a place of kindness. Also known as Jay's long-lost, better-looking twin.
Tyler "Nugget"
Public Policy Advocate
Youngest son of the Director. Half as tall, twice as driven. Reads the fine print so the rest of us do not have to, and keeps a close eye on the people who write the rules to make sure they remember who those rules land on. Living proof that the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Jacques "Worm"
Treasurer / Morale Engine
The human equivalent of a microphone that nobody ever turned off. Worm can make you laugh even when you are actively trying to stay mad. Constant showman, dangerously charming, and weirdly brave. The kind of guy who runs toward chaos instead of away from it, usually laughing the whole time.
Advisory Roles
Jamal "Bear"
Consultant
If something needs to happen, Bear is already halfway there making it happen. Wants do not magically appear, and he is the guy willing to go out and secure the opportunity, the partnership, the favor, or the deal. Persistent, resourceful, and allergic to excuses.
