Jimmy Kiselak

Because graduating from RPI with degrees in physics and computer science is the hip thing to do, Jimmy did the same. After, he found himself mired in government bureaucracy, spending too much time to get too little done.

Ready to work on a project he believed in, Jimmy quit his national security job to start LBRY. Jimmy created the LBRY protocol and the first LBRY application.

Jimmy is a Bitcoin fanatic and has been since its early days. He has long been interested in the benefits of decentralization.

Now, he wants a turn to help change the world by harnessing blockchain technology. Mike heads up LBRY’s marketing efforts and serves as an ambassador for our platform to media, investors, and the public.

Jack Robison

Jack's path to developer with LBRY is fairly typical: face sixty years in prison for innocent chemistry experiments; lose interest in chemistry; program insane electric guitars for Kiss; decide to revolutionize the internet.

Jack was one of the first people to discover LBRY and took to it so fast he may understand more about it than anyone.

Jack has Asperger's Syndrome and is actively involved in the autism community. He was a regular on Wrong Planet's Autism Talk TV, has appeared on National Public Radio, the New York Times, and presents around the country.
