Meet the Team
Kiley Maki
Kiley is a man of many interests, more specifically anything that happens at a computer. And ice hockey. He is originally from the bustling metropolis of Marshall, MN (pop 14,000) and actually doesn’t mind the cold weather. Kiley’s favorite car is the Bifta.
Charles Eyermann
Charles enjoys driving, but is eager for the day that he can kick back and read the news on his way to work. His interests include guitar, ultimate, and hiking. He is excited about the rapid advances in medical technology and seeks to apply his background in computer science to personalized medicine and translational therapies. His dream car is the 1985 Lamborghini Countach QV5000.
Jonathon C. Green
Jon enjoys driving, but wouldn't mind letting the car do the work in traffic. He's from Chicago Illinois, and enjoys reading and playing guitar. He hopes to work in game development some day, and his dream car is a Lotus, like the 2016 Evora 400.
DJ Knetzger
DJ has spent a lot of time driving around the midwest, hopping from home to school and back a couple times a year. And every time the trip seems to take longer and longer. He longs for the day when his car can take him from point A to point B without ever needing to look at I-90 ever again. He thoroughly enjoys all things technology, and spends much of his time at his PC. DJ's favorite car shifts fairly often, but the flavor of the month is currently the Tesla Model S.
Austin I. Lane
Austin has never been behind the wheel in his life. There is good reason for this though, as Austin hails from the heart of the city, New York, New York, and is an avid user of public transportation and biking as a result. But Austin knows that there will come a day when he gets a driver's license of his own, and he can no longer be exempt from the honorable role of Designated Driver... But when the sun sets, and the moon rises, Austin dreams of a reality he can own a self-driving car in, without ever needing to acquire a license of his own.
Chielon S. Yang
Chielon's favorite car is the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, the same one as Paul Walker's in 2 Fast 2 Furious (RIP Paul). Chielon is from St. Paul, MN and his hobbies include playing basketball, swimming, playing board games, and singing karaoke. Oh yeah, he also likes driving, especially a stick shift car.
