Ryan and Scott: (Creators)
Ryan Iverson and Scott Peterman met at Yale nearly a decade ago and have since been friends, enemies, rivals, occasional roommates, business partners, blood brothers, co-workers, co-founders, collaborators and more. During this time they have labored together and apart in a variety of media. In college, Scott majored in Military History, but is now fascinated with the planet Mars, the future, and crime fiction. He worked on the GTA series at Rockstar Games and currently works for Apple, Inc. Ryan is an improver and stand-up comedian as well as the creator of the popular parody website www.lolsecretz.com. He likes popular culture and the internet and, of course, cartoons. Ryan enjoys spending time with his incredible young son, Dash, and now also works part-time for Apple, where Scott is technically his boss.
