Hive7 is a True Ventures funded social gaming web startup. Home to a multidisciplinary team of web, gaming, and design practitioners, Hive7 has become one of the leading companies creating original and innovative social games on facebook, bebo, myspace, and other social networks.
Max Skibinsky
Lawful Evil CEO Max majored in Physics (Eldritch Strings Arcana) from Mordor State University. Learning spousal villany in Magnetic Arts and soul draining necromancy from wizards of Qht he practices unspeakable coding horrors in his lab. He achieved the level of God a few years ago, and is currently working on the Nanospray of Immortality.
JD Conley
Chief Code Monkey JD uses his 10 years of accumulated XP to solve scalability issues with the swiftness of a six Zergling rush. Wielding The Sword of a Thousand Truths he is unstoppable against the constant onslaught of new features. When not glued to a keyboard he enjoys Rock Band, GTA, camping, volleyball, driving fast, and starin’ at the wall.
Dave Holt
Dave Holt, Hive7 COO, was spawned from a 1980s Convex Supercomputer and was further warped by Live-Action Roleplaying, insanely intense 18xx board games, and the the horror of creating 1990s PC graphics and multimedia innovations. Emerging from these traumas a mutant soccer warrior, Dave referees soccer, the Hive7 team and Kick-Off, Hive7’s new social soccer game. For fun he enjoys a steady diet of uber hot habanerro-based cuisine.
Yaroslav Berezovsky
Hailing from the cold land of the north where unicorns are known to frolick, Yaroslav manipulates the dark arts of numbers and magic. He is a mathematician gamer whose superpower is turning numbers and graphs into fun. He can make you enjoy watching a progress bar fill, or ruin your day by showing you a different text message this time. When he’s not abusing his power creating games at Hive7 where he is known as the Lead Game Designer, he might be found playing a Magic: the Gathering tournament, running a D&D module or looking for that last healer for a raid in World of Warcraft.
Ross Stovall
When he isn’t busy not sleeping insomniac Ross can be found stalking the neural pathways of Hive7 games developing software to rule your days and nights. If he cannot sleep, neither shall you. If you sight him at a local dive bar do not make eye contact for he may have just returned from a backpacking trip where he takes landscape photos and may still be part feral. Or buy him a beer, whichever is easier.
Max Märkel
As foretold by prophesy a lone Swede would fly in from the east and with his rainbow colored fingers give birth to graphics never before seen by human eyes. As many successful students before him he was trained by digital Zen masters at the Hyper Island School in the Old World.
Ali Tassavor
Emerging from the epicenter of this breeze from the Middle East, flew into the gamers world. By day, a UI developer and by night he is the dancing wolf. Marvel at his moves on the court, the dance floor and the keyboard.
Rod Sweet
With a thundering of hooves and the roar of a motorcycle the legendary lone wolf of IT support appears; reflected in his gaze, the wisdom of ages borne of Unix strife and MS heroics. His implementation skills are known far and wide; from the multimedia gulch to the silicon hills his myth will ring from server to server across every platform now made stable by his guiding hand.
