About us

Stephen Stempo is 43 years old. He has been gaming since he could walk starting on the Intellivision. Owning and playing nearly every major console ever released while simultaneously tinkering with his PC so it could run games like Mechwarrior 2, Descent, and Baldur's Gate. While beating every JRPG he could rent from his local video store.

His love of coffee was honed by his family. He grew up in a diner, literally. His parents ran a diner from 1985 until 2016. His Italian traditions also meant that he was taught that Coffee was an all-day drink. 

He hates Energy drinks, he loves orange and he has played Might and Magic 6: the Mandate of Heaven more than you.

Alicia Rodriguez is 39 years old. She loves creating. She has traveled the world studying art. Lived in Italy for 4 months, and took hundreds of people through the Alaskan wilderness to the Yukon. She creates ceramic art in her spare time and is better at painting than she will admit.

As a child, she was warned off of coffee with tales of it "stunting your growth." So her love of coffee came in college, especially during her time in Italy. Finally understanding that Coffee is, by itself, a great drink and removing all the added sugar that we learn to use to mask the nuanced flavors.

She hates ice-levels, she loves purple and she has improbably played more Slay the Spire than Stephen.
