Buster Benson
Founder and CEO
Buster Benson is on an 11-year path of building technology to improve peoples' lives. He started at Amazon.com's Personalization and Recommendations team, building one of the first truly personalized experiences on the web. Buster co-founded The Robot Co-op (most famous for 43things.com, sold to Amazon), a site that helps you publicly share your life list and find people trying to accomplish similar things. In 2006 he detoured from web technology and co-founded a members-only technology-inspired art gallery, bar, and event space in Seattle called McLeod Residence. Other projects include building Locavore, an iPhone app that helped users find fruits and vegetables in season (sold to Hevva Corp), and 750words.com, a private journaling tool based on the idea of writing 3 pages a day. This led to his current mission: creating a personalized health-improvement wizard through Habit Labs. When Buster isn't building tech products, he's raising a human product, his 1-year old son Niko with his wife, Kellianne, and trying to live by his manifesto for extraordinary living (busterbenson.com). Buster has a positivity ratio (right now) of 1.67, has posted 22,061 items to the internet since October of 1999, has legally changed his name twice, and is Singularitarian, quantified selfer, humanist, ENFJ, doodler, self-help junkie, romantic-comedy obsessed, self-published novelist, and more.

Alex Koloskov
Lead Developer
Alex's two main passions for last 15 years have been game development and personal development. He co-founded three game development companies, worked on 50+ mobile and PC games all while constantly sharpening his own saw and trying to turn himself into "fitter, happier, more productive" kind of person. After that, joining Habit Labs which pretty much melts both passions into one was a no-brainer. Alex is originally from Moscow, Russia and he is one of the few people who doesn't mind Seattle's weather (which beats weather in Moscow almost every day) and refuses to move to warmer climate. He is happily married to his redhead darling, has a 13-year old daughter and can't wait to see his second daughter (ETA: late November). His latest passions are aikido, shooting guns, riding his bicycle, learning new things and trying new sports. Alex is currently working on doing his push-ups and pull-ups every day, waking up early and achieving his "101 goals in 1001 days". He is ISTJ, polymath, atheist, libertarian, quantified selfer, gamer, GTD zealot, neutral good and uber-geek.
