James’s Story

James considers himself a Professional Hobbyist. He is not sure that is a legitimate title but it is the best way to describe his lifetime of learning.

Fueled by a seemingly unlimited supply of duct tape and cardboard as a child, James has always been a maker.

Kai

Kai’s Story

Danielle is the proud mother of a very special toddler named Kai. She lovingly refers to him as her “sour patch kid,” and it’s an apt reference to their story, one filled with the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Kai was diagnosed with a rare medical condition called Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration disorder (BPAN), a progressive disease that damages the nervous system, and there is no cure. First it’s sour, then it’s sweet. A sour patch kid story, for sure.
