	Andy Himes arrived to work here after putting his college degree in graphic design to good use stacking boxes at a toy store. He moved to Vermont after graduating from college and currently lives with his fiancé Laurie and their pet hamster. An aspiring fiction writer, Andy can be found working on one of his hundred unfinished novels, in hopes of getting something published before robots take over the world in 2050. He also harbors a fascination with pirate culture and would love to sail under the flag of the Jolly Roger if it wasn't for his intense aversion to splinters and scurvy. Read more...
	Bob Rayl is a sky-diving magician who recently landed in Vermont. As the youngest of seven children, he's learned to quickly master new skills. When not jumping out of airplanes or pulling quarters out of ears, you'll find him plucking his guitar or spending countless hours in World of Warcraft. Read more...
	Chris Ensey is a recent addition to the the team, as well as a recent addition to Vermont.  Originally from Baltimore, Chris decided he was tired of all the excitement of crowded streets, traffic, high-rise buildings, and the rather dubious statistics for which the city is known.  So, he packed up his things in his car, drove to Vermont in February, and started his new life with a wonderful native Vermonter that later became his groovy wife.

	Dan Worthing arrogantly considers himself both a writer and a cartoonist, despite strong evidence to the contrary. Though he spent his college years in Vermont, Dan has only recently returned to make it his home. He spends his free days exploring Vermont's wilderness, seeking out its finest breweries, and enthusiastically plunking at his ukulele. Read more...
	David Zacharis is a wide-eyed idealist that believes that a pop song can change the world. David brings the technical skills he learned running his own record label, managing a tech support call center, and as a freelance web designer to CPA Site Solutions. It should be noted that David also plays in a pop band that toured the US and Europe numerous times. Read more...
	Erik Thomsen is a computer nerd trapped in the body of a nature nut. When he is not busy seeking out more films to add to his ever growing documentary collection, he can be spotted biking with trailer in tow to some obscure festival in a foreign land. He hopes some day to learn enough french to say something other than "I don't know how to speak french." Read more...
	Jim Tourville grew up in New York State on the Northern edge of the Adirondack Mountains. He studied Anthropology for a time and then moved to Florida where he finished college and worked at multiple multimedia design agencies. Uncle Sam decided to give Jim an all expense paid trip to Kuwait in 2004. As a Sergeant attached to the Hawaiian Army National Guard Jim spent a year enjoying desert sunrises and eating spam sushi. After his Middle East jaunt Jim decided he was fed up with the dry heat of the desert and the humidity of Florida so he moved back North and settled into the beautiful (and primarily cold) Burlington, Vermont. He spends his free time reading news and blogs online as well as enjoying the vast offerings of Vermont with his fiancé Katie. Read more...
	Joe Johnson grew up in the Green Mountains of Vermont and has a B.S. from The University of Vermont.  As a child Joe was often playing soccer and skiing during his free time and he still enjoys these sports today.  Joe also does some woodworking in his spare time and his last project was a poplar bench with a lid that opens to a small storage area, its located in the entry way of his house.  And like most people Joe likes to travel a little and a couple of his favorite trips have been to Costa Rica and one cross country road trip camping at many national parks.  He also enjoyed a trip to Palm Beach, FL where he got to do some sea kayaking and mentions that riding a wave in a kayak is a blast!

	Jon Miller is the son of a C++ programmer extraordinaire, and as such, has been tinkering with computers since receiving his IBM PC Junior at five years old. He was brought to Vermont from Massachusetts by an ill-advised departure into the world of liberal arts education at the University of Vermont. Though this foray resulted in the fortuitous meeting of Jon and his wonderful girlfriend Jennifer, little else good came of it. Hence the return to techie-hood, and an Associate's degree in Computer Systems Management later, Jon has found a comfortable niche in web design. He now enjoys a great life in Montpelier with girlfriend Jennifer, dog Bryce, goldfish Mr. Sparkle, and a courageous little snail named Rocky II. When he's not polishing his design chops, he enjoys playing with his 2-year-old German-Shepard/Lab mix, playing guitar, and snowboarding. Read more...
	Ken Marshall is an urban refugee. He moved out of New York's lower west side 16 years ago and while the transition to small town life was a rocky one, he still hasn't looked back except to catch an occasional Jets game. His idea of fun is modifying popular video games and he can usually be found on a Friday night hunkered over his computer trying to figure out some obscure and basically useless scripting language like NWNScript or HamScript, or nostalgically playing arond with old DOS aps. His life's ambition is to faithfully reproduce Lara Croft in 3dsMax. Read more...
	Kyle Buser was born and raised in the "quintessential New England village" known as Woodstock Vermont. It has been a long and adventurous journey that has lead him to us here at CPASiteSolutions. Rarely seen or heard, it is quite mysterious what he actually does here. We usually just blame him for any problems that arise since he doesn't have the wherewithal to defend himself. Read more...
	Norm Miller is our life long Vermonter. Being recently married and a new home owner, Norm has traded in his bachelor pad for a work shop, his mountain bike for a snow blower, his photography for gallons of wood stain and house paint, his Playstation for a chain saw, his Diner's Club card for a Weber grill, and his bowling night for a home bocce ball court. Read more...
	Peter Creutzberger is an avid proponent of the geek chic lifestyle. He came to Vermont for the flora but he stayed for... well... the flora. He grew up in a suburb of New York City in New Jersey and decided during a nap in the car on the way to visit UVM that it was going to be the place for him. If he's not in front of his computer at home clicking away, he can be found in front of his tv "clacking" away at some vintage game, or behind his guitar hammering away. Read more...
	Rikk Taft (Not really, but due to the terms of my witness relocation agreement that is the name they assigned me!) Fortunately, I was born and raised in Vermont (no I don't sound like Fred Tuttle). I currently live in Orange, Vermont with my two daughters Devyn and Danyka and a pet ferret Jadis. In my spare time I like to be outdoors - some of my favorite things to do are spending time with my girls, mountain biking both cross country and downhill, road biking, hockey, kayaking, skiing, golf, snowmobiling, boating on beautiful Lake Champlain and playing any sport with the exception of Basketball!
