Aaron Crayford
CTO, President of Product & Founder
Aaron is a techie with a surfer's attitude and heart for the un-reached.
The larger the challenge, the more he likes it.
A sketch in his notebook seeded the idea for a new enterprise, one that
could bring nourishing content to the world's masses. Taking academic
leave of absence from his computer science studies at the University of
California, San Diego, Aaron created a business plan that attracted
world-class venture backing and the founding of the company.
A world-class core management team was hired and the business was
launched.
As Chief Technology Officer, Aaron leads innovation of the company's
technology and offerings to customers. Working closely with the Vice
President of Engineering, he enjoys stimulating the engineering staff
and celebrating its ensuing intellectual property and proprietary
inventions. His technology roots start with innovative exploration of
computer science as a teenager, years teaching about computers to middle
and high school students, and consulting work on technology security and
massive computational problems for government agencies and the San Diego
Super Computer Center.
Aaron's creative energies are applied outside work in a variety of high
intensity venues. Some days one can find him working up a sweat playing
Judo, Jui Jitsu, kickboxing or surfing. His health program is based on a
regime of disciplined exercise, diet and sleep. He thinks during quiet
times, including long rides to visit his grandmother and family in a
small town in northern California.
