About
Get To Know UsRichard Van Fleet
President & Founder
Visual media has been Rich’s focus since slides were hand-spliced and he delivered the final product personally. Today he sees the evolution of graphics, web, and print in the cloud, and a one-stop solution for the speaker’s bureau in Speakcore 2.0. Rich’s organic garden provides the greens and carrots for his daily shake and Buster the Boxer keeps him on the go. Delving back to his roots, Rich shoots portraits in his home photography studio. After hundreds of hours of study, Rich has become a photoshop aficionado.

Ryan Baskwell
CTO
Ryan envisions a day when he’ll be telling the story of Speakcore 2.0 just like some of the famous technology companies that started in the founder’s garage. He balances his highly technical role with a love of the outdoors. When he’s not focused on growing the best software solution, he can be found off the grid hiking in Maine or upstate New York. Ryan is part of a club dedicated to hikers who have summited all 46 High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains and has started his young son on the same path.

Anthony’s fascination with digital technology began in high school in computer graphics class. His process orientation and ability to manipulate data to solve problems enable him to thrive on a fast-paced schedule. Anthony touts the fun environment at the office and banter between deadlines as the balance for his team, who have the work down to a science.

Chief Software Architech
Josh finds creativity and constant learning as the parallel between his early career interest in culinary arts and his current role in software development. He beams when he describes Speakcore 2.0 as light years ahead of the legacy platform. Cooking, music, and driving help Josh relax, so he considers his commute and making dinner as his time to destress. Josh goes all out for Christmas Eve by preparing the family-friendly version of the Feast of the Seven Fishes. His music go-to is jazz, seeing artists in Philly and New York clubs, and listening while he works.

Bookkeeper
Jessica brings order to the numbers and is grateful for the technology that secures remote communications. And, although she is amused by her younger dog Zeus trying to get Bree, her aging dog to play, Jessica prefers the caring climate of the office. Jessica’s favorite holiday is Christmas with extended family and friends. A fan of Broadway, Jessica was amazed at the precision of the Rockettes and was filled with sheer joy at the performance.
