Storytellers:

Nathan Fritz

Nathan (known by friends as Fritzy) is the Chief Software Architect for &yet in Richland, WA. When he’s not whiteboarding a fresh idea or slamming together a mind-blowing proof-of-concept, he can be found playing Minecraft with his kids. Nathan is also a regular speaker at some of the most popular sessions of the annual Tri-Conf (a regional technology, entrepreneurship, and design conference). He is also a sought after speaker at other tech conferences around the world where he has covered a wide variety of unsuspectingly entertaining topics.

Shannon Milliman

Shannon is on fire these days! It seems there are few things she’s not capable of tackling and achieving off-the-charts levels of pure awesomeness at. Since earning a Bachelor of Arts in English, Shannon has been a Teacher, Private Dance and Art Instructor, a Dancer (she’s even been in music videos!), Training Supervisor, Dress for Success Representative, and a regular winner of local (Portland, OR) public speaking competitions. And Shannon has accomplished all this as a mother of 5 children!

Ty Mulholland

First and foremost, Ty is a hugger. Loving other humans is something Ty does better than most other humans on the planet. He’s also the Creative Director at Elevate in Richland, WA. But Ty doesn’t just direct creativity, he exudes it. Whether he is drawing, designing, playing music, crafting a new brand, capturing and editing video, snapping adorable pictures of his beautiful girls, or designing a new tattoo for his left arm, Ty is pretty much always creating.

Johnda Smith

When you first get to know Johnda, you might think her glasses give her superpowers. What else (you might think) could allow her to see the world in such a unique, intelligent and refreshing way. But you’d quickly learn that it wasn’t her glasses at all. She’s that amazing all on her own. Johnda earned a Masters of Social Work from Eastern Washington State University and currently works as a Case Manager for Aging and Long Term Care in Walla Walla, WA.
