Nick Esselman:

Webmaster and owner/operator of Essence Technologies, LLC. parent of EMRR.

PRO: Loves the hobby, but doesn't get to fly as much as desired.

CON: Would think more guests would vote in the EMRR contests.

Dick Stafford:

Longest partner of EMRR (since 2001) and responsible for key databases including RockSIM, Recommended Motors, and Center of Pressure.

PRO: Loves both building and flying; has an occasional great idea; knows a little about a lot of (rocket) subjects.

CON: Life happens, and hasn't had enough time to do either for a couple of years; has trouble following through (especially when it comes to sanding and filling); isn't an expert on any (rocket) subject.

Lance Alligood:

Has become the review formatting king and has out-lasted any/all others (since 2004).

PRO: I consider what I do for EMRR to be a way that I "pay it forward" to improve & grow our hobby.

CON: There's only so much that you can learn about rocketry by reading and/or talking about it on the internet. My advice is to seek out mentors that you can talk to, ask questions, & work with *in person*.

James Gartrell:

Starting in 2008, James will be the new PR (front man) to help promote the site and manage sponsor and prize communication.

PRO: Most rocketeers are really great people, and flying rockets with them is outstanding!

CON: I regret not having actually met some really super rocketeers I have come to know through the Internet.
