Josh is the co-Owner of game development studio Robomodo, which most recently created Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD. He has been an entrepreneur and video game developer since the early ’90s and was formerly a Creative Director for both Electronic Arts and Midway Games.

Don’t mess with Josh. While he doesn’t actually know kung fu, he was the inspiration behind two famous Mortal Combat characters, Sub-Zero and Lui Kang. FATALITY!

David is currently an All-Star pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2010, David was the American League starter in the All-Star game and was the runner-up for the AL Cy Young Award. David regularly “crushes kids dreams” in FIFA Soccer and also owns the clubhouse in Call of Duty III. In 2007, David won SEC Male Athlete of the Year as a junior at Vanderbilt University. Anchor Down.

David acknowledges that it is not a coincidence that he won his first Cy Young in 2012 immediately after joining the OverDog Advisory Board. He competes on OverDog for his foundation Project14.org.

Hank is a retired NFL receiver who played for the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Indianapolis Colts. He is OverDog’s resident candidate for Most Interesting Man in the World. Hank splits his time between several ventures, including Athletic Gaines sports performance training facility and a reality television show, Kendra On Top, in which he co-stars with his wife, Kendra Wilkinson.

Hank is an avid video gamer, social media expert, and veteran entrepreneur. (OverDog co-founder Hunter Hillenmeyer holds a secret grudge against Hank after pulling a quad muscle while chasing him, unsuccessfully, in 2008.)

Chris has punted for the Minnesota Vikings since 2005. He is the only NFL punter designated as a licensed practitioner of Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks and once considered changing his name to Chris Warcraft due to his enthusiasm for World of Warcraft. Chris regularly co-hosts “Video Games Weekly” on Minnesota’s KFAN sports station.

Known for his strong leg and strong opinions, Chris is a regular blogger and plays bass for the band Tripping Icarus. Chris once bartered his cherished #5 jersey to Viking newcomer Donovan McNabb for five nonconsecutive shout-outs for Tripping Icarus at press conferences, a $5000 donation to a charity of Chris’s choice, and one ice cream cone. They actually drew up a contract. We hope he got sprinkles.

John is a veteran of MLS, currently leading the Vancouver Whitecaps both on the field and as their MLSPU board member. Born in South Africa, raised in California, played for Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen before joining the Chicago Fire, John has experience on the pitch in multiple continents. Known affectionately as Tortilla for his unhealthy obsession with Mexican food, John is prone to letting his competitive juices take over at any moment. Case and point, once asked to be a guest judge in a city-wide Sudoku tournament, John seized 3rd place against the best Chicago had to offer. John enjoys surfing, beach volleyball, and showing off to others that he still knows the Contra 30 Life Code.

Steve is our CEO and a Co-Founder of OverDog. With nearly 10 years of experience working in start-ups and sports, Steve spends most of his days 1) focused on OverDog’s Game-Changing Experience, 2) getting out of the way of the amazing OverDog team, and 3) trying to convince us that baseball is still America’s National Pastime. Steve is also OverDog’s General Counsel, which means that he’s responsible for all of our contracts and comma placements.

Steve used to have to wear a suit to work – we think that’s why he keeps this picture on his LinkedIn profile. Steve holds his BA from Princeton University and his JD/MBA from Vanderbilt University. He lives in Nashville with his fiancé and their two dogs.

Hunter serves as President and Co-Founder of OverDog. He played eight seasons for the Chicago Bears, during five of which he served as a Board Member for the NFLPA. In addition to his role as Office Linebacker, Hunter manages the athlete user experience and serves as de facto CMO. Hunter remains adamant that losing 30 pounds and trading in his southern shag haircut for a more manageable mop has nothing to do with his desire to look the part of a start-up co-founder.

Now in his second VC-funded start-up, Hunter still refuses to change out his “fat crocodile dundee” LinkedIn photo. He received his BA from Vanderbilt University and MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. He lives in the suburbs of Chicago with his wife Shannon and their daughter Harper.

Thomas serves as OverDog’s Vice President of Product tasked with overseeing product, project, and agile scrum management efforts for the company. Prior to joining Overdog, Thomas worked for two large companies – Accenture and American Express – before arriving in start-up land with edo Interactive, another Nashville-based, venture-backed business. At edo, Thomas managed a range of functions including product management and design, product marketing, and various product-related business development efforts.

Thomas received his BS from Cornell University and MBA from Vanderbilt University. He currently lives in Nashville with his wife Betsy and two dogs Cullie and Annabelle.

Daniel is OverDog’s Director of Systems Technology which means he’s responsible for all of the seamless backend workings that make the OverDog experience so easy. You could say that he is like our bee keeper, maintaining thousands of moving parts and the logic of the system. And, no, that wasn’t a random analogy; Daniel has a beehive in his backyard. Just ask him about it. He’d love to tell you about keeping bees. For hours he will talk about keeping bees. In fact, you probably don’t have time to ask him about bees – just trust us.

With over twelve years in software development – much of it with startup companies – Daniel is also our touchpoint for best practices and security. He says that being at a startup is a “great opportunity for him to build data driven applications and be annoyingly stubborn.” When you see how intuitive OverDog makes gaming, we think you’ll agree: data-driven and annoyingly stubborn are an awesome combination for Systems Technology.

Kiefer is our Software Developer and is responsible for all UX and front-end development. Do you love how seemlessly OverDog integrates with your gaming behavior? That’s Kiefer. He’s young, but he’s ambitious, he’s talented, and his work is amazing. Hence, our nickname for him – Neo. Does he like his nickname? We’re not sure – he’s too nice to argue with us. Are we going to keep using his Neo avatar? Yeah, probably.

Kiefer recently moved from Washington State to work for OverDog. He’s an avid gamer (favorite game: Counter Strike) and programmer (favorite language: C#), but his real passion is guitar and classic rock (favorite musician: Jimmy Page). Or so he says. Apparently, Kiefer plays open mic nights all over Nashville, but none of us have ever been invited. Please, if you’re ever around town and hear him play … let us know about it.
