Where'd you grow up? [Rob] I grew up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts which is the western part of the state... [Jon] Yeah, that little... Right? [Rob] Yeah, actually, yeah, right near there, yeah, it's a suburb of Springfield, Mass, ahm, I went to Brown University in the eighties, ah, I started my first startup at Brown, a, a clothing company, I had stores up and down the East Coast down to St. John, ah, I did that for about ten years, it was exciting and, ahm, but then I met the woman of my dreams and she's like, "well, we can't really have kids if you're traveling to the Caribbean three, four months a year and to the Keys", and all this... [Jon] Yeah... [Rob] ...and so I, ahm, got rid of that business and I, ah, one of the stores I had was on Martha's Vineyard [Jon] Yup. [Rob] …so I settled there... [Jon] Yup... [Rob] ...and I started a new com-, new company there and, ahm, had that, a property management company and, ah, we did, ah, ah, construction and, ahm, then, ah, as our kids were getting older we were like, "well, we really don't want them to go to school on the Vineyard through high school"... [Jon] Yup. [Rob} ...and so I sold that business and moved to Boston, ah, about a year and a half ago where I've been mentoring startups and, ah, one of the startups I was mentoring was this 3D Apartment… [Jon] Yeah. [Rob] ...and, ahm, got to the point where I was really adding value to them and they needed someone in the operations role and so it was, ah, a good marriage and I came on board to help them. [Jon] Ah, first of all, I didn't know you lived in the Vineyard, I lived in the Vineyard during the summer of ’98 and I was a bartender at the, ah, Yacht Club and I was also first mate on the Mad Max and I live...
