Adrian Black

Adrian has been fixing vintage computers on his Youtube channel “Adrian’s Digital basement” since 2016. He got his first computer, a Commodore VIC-20, in 1982 at the age of 7. This put him on a lifelong journey of tinkering and working with computers and technology which brings us today, where Adrian can often be found down in his basement making videos about troubleshooting and repairing broken vintage computers. Entirely self taught, Adrian specializes in pinpointing exactly what is wrong with a computer and explaining to his viewers how they can use logical thinking to figure out what has failed on the system. This allows for pinpoint repairs versus randomly replacing parts until the system works again.

Adrian is from Montreal Canada but now resides in Portland Oregon.

Tim Jenison

Tim Jenison is described on the Wikipedia page for Tim’s Vermeer as: “an inventor and successful founder of NewTek, a company working in various fields of computer graphics, most notably the 3D modeling software “LightWave 3D.”

Jenison is also considered a pioneer who helped democratize video editing through products like the VideoToaster. The documentary Tim’s Vermeer highlights some of his more recent work. This is focused on how Vermeer likely used optics as part of his painting process.

James Sanderson

James is the other founder and owner of S&T GeoTronics LLC and started his adult life in the 3rd Infantry division as a M1 tank systems mechanic. Upon leaving the army, he became a millwright. After many years of working on every possible type of equipment, from programming logic controllers to building drive systems from scratch, he was ready to build his own grassroot electric car (truck).
His passion is Open Source electronics, ham radios, and solving technical problems.

Paul Schreiber

Paul Schreiber started as a co-op student in 1977, working on TV games and then was Steve Leininger’s technician for the Model 1. After graduating from Texas A&M in 1979 with a BSEE, he worked at Data General
on the Dasher family of video terminals, returning to Tandy in 1980. From 1980-1984, he designed over 30 products including modems, stereos and music equipment, the Model II graphics card, and the Model 3/4 graphics ASIC.

Leaving in 1984, he returned in 1988. From 1988-1993, he went back to school (MSEE, SMU) and worked on a succession of monumental failures such as THOR, DCC, VIS, and the Tandy Sensation. None of these
failures were his fault. He also designed digital voltmeters and was heavily involved in patent litigation/consumer product safety. He holds 12 US patents.

Adam Spring

Dr. Adam P Spring, PhD has been working at the top end of computer vision and 3D imaging technologies for nearly two decades. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and won the Talbert Abrams Award for his A History of Laser Scanning articles.

Dr. Spring sees computers like the Amiga – along with developments made by pioneers like Tim Jenison – as part of his formative years. He is considered a thought leader in his field. His love for what he does is reflected in many of the high profile projects he has been a part of.

Marc Tessier

Marc is one of the two founders and owners of S&T GeoTronics LLC, and their products include the “Open Enigma” and the “Open DSKY (Apollo Guidance Computer)”. Back in 2015, he left a long career as a Wireless Network Engineer to follow his passion as a maker and entrepreneur. Fluent speaker and writer in French and English, he’s a creative and detail-oriented individual with an interest in custom projects and hi-tech solutions. Loves to tinker with Arduinos and build various niche electronic devices for Geocaching, Escape Rooms, and even an interactive bar (which has been said to be London’s best)!
