The Crew

So that we're not just another faceless monolith, I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce all of Ambrosia's employees. Don't worry; this won't take long, there are only a few of us slaving away in the byte mines.



















•Hector D. Byrd
(Far right of picture) Grand Poo-Bah of the office. This crusty critter rules with an iron wing.
•Andrew Welch
(Right) Ambrosia's fearless leader and resident Macintosh wizard. Currently, a large portion of Ambrosia's software library has been authored by Andrew. This talented young programmer is the founding father of Ambrosia, and continues to lead Ambrosia into the uncharted waters of digital distribution of commercial quality products.
•Gayle Haarr
(middle-right) With Gayle's finely tuned accounting skills, Ambrosia is better able to squeeze the most out of your shareware dollar. Gayle is in charge of the day-to-day business operations of Ambrosia's busy office. If you are feeling neighborly, say hello to Gayle on your next registration form.
•"Cajun" David Richard
(middle-left) This southern gentleman is Ambrosia's technical support guru and sorcerer's apprentice. If you have a question or concern about any of Ambrosia's products, Cajun is your man. Thanks to Cajun, Ambrosia can boast an average 24 hour turnaround time for eMail technical questions. If you are surfing the online networks, stop by one of our forums and say hello.
•Toby Kamp
(left) Toby is the newest member of the Ambrosia crew, and handles all of the marketing uities here at Ambrosia Software. He also will be taking care of this newsletter as well as bringing Ambrosia further into the public eye. Toby comes from Corporate America, so we had to make him forget how to tie a necktie.
•Ed Ota
(not shown) When Andrew first incorporated Ambrosia, Ed was right there with him. Originally, the company was run out of their dorm room (we have since upgraded to a suite of offices). While Andrew programmed, Ed handled the operation side of things. Although Ed has left Ambrosia for the United States Marine Corps to serve as a Second Lieutenant, he is still here in spirit. Who can blame him for taking a cushier job ;<).
