Graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, Brian worked as an industrial designer in Los Angeles before moving to San Francisco to help create the original AirBed & Breakfast. While at RISD, Brian was captain of the RISD Nads hockey team, leading them to a perfect 0-16 season. He instituted The Supportive Cup, and is also co-creator of the school's infamous mascot (who would have been banned from the league, if there was a league). When not sleeping on airbeds, Brian designs products, and is working on a new venture involving human sustainability and social networking. Brian lives and works at the original AB&B in San Francisco. See his profile on AB&B.

Joe is a serial design-trepreneur, focused on projects that simplify life and have a positive impact on the environment. An alumni of the Rhode Island School of Design, Joe spent his time straddling the Industrial Design and Graphic Design departments. He graduated in 5 years with the two resulting BFAs. Complimenting his studio work, he found time to create the most influential college basketball program in the world: the RISD Balls. He spent their first season as coach and captain of a team of 'seriously buff' art students who could dribble (most) and dunk (one). When he's not shooting hoops, he mans Ecolect's west coast office, markets CritBuns, and makes sure AirBed & Breakfast is looking sharp. Joe lives and works from the original AB&B in San Francisco.
