The A Team
The AppStack team is a select group of young tech people that kick ass at stuff.
-
Steve Espinosa Head Honcho
is the mind behind AppStack and has previously owned and sold a number of cyber companies featured on the world wide web, including Backyard. When not perusing YouTube videos, he enjoys spending time with his wife who he met online by lying about his age and then snagged her with the world’s worst first date. She survived the viewing of Mr. Bean and has since blessed him with two sons and unlimited tattooing privileges.

John Zdanowski Chief Executive Officer
As CEO of AppStack, John takes everyone out for drinks and tries to convince Steve to go on diets. He is also the co-founder & CFO of PixelFish. He has founded or helped run a series of companies some of which still linger here. He attended a number of little known schools back east some of which he actually graduated from. When he’s not helping grow businesses, he's loving his beautiful wife and his 4 expensive children.

Joel Beukelman Director of Design
is gifted in print, UI design, & photography and hooked a hot cheerleader wife when his parents set him up. While not warding off women with his scruffy beard and specs, he uses his wedding band as a bottle opener to enjoy a beer with his bride while watching football.

Dylan Hudson Director of UX
uses that mystical powers of HTML, CSS, and Javascript to make things work grood... I mean great... good and great.

Now he has two crazy kids that he loves. BTW he makes the best toffee.

is a mild-mannered developer by day, caffeine-fueled autodidact by night.

Outside of the office, Kevin can typically be be found exploring Southern California with his wife and two daughters, in search of sun, snow, and good sushi.
