Tom Anderson

Tom and his brother, Wendell, are descended from generations of engineers. Inspired by their dad, they each started engineering at 13, doing electronics piecework in their basement. In their spare time they snowboard, build stuff, play music, program, and design analog circuits. Despite the implication of this bio, they are not twins.
