Chris received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at UC Davis. After 4 years in Aerospace leading engineering teams, he created a Sporting-Goods Company (Bombyx Snowboarding), then developed a prototyping lab at Xerox PARC, followed by leading the Mechanical Engineering team at Pine Photonics (now Opnext). He then moved to Austin to start Capture Product Design, an Engineering Consultancy Firm, (2006) and Big Fin Scientific (2011).

Gus (Chris' Dad), is a well-established analog and mixed-signal electronics engineer. He started at RCA in the '60s with cutting-edge display technology development and continues to innovate with the latest technology today. He holds a B.S. in Physics from the Rose-Polytechnic Institute and has worked on F-14 Fighter Displays, Military Displays with Ford Aerospace and high-speed industrial cameras, to name a few examples.

Donny developed all software for the 10MF1 prototype and Beta units. He's an expert in coding for microcontrollers such as what we use for Big Fin products.
