Trent grew up in Alabama somewhere near the Heart of Dixie. Manners were an important part of life from an early age. These "fabled" "manners" were taught to him by his mother and reinforced with a stick... not a sharp one... just a swift one.

Trent is currently living and working near Dallas, TX. He can also be found in the After Effects tutorials and forums on the Creative Cow website.

Derek grew up in Texas somewhere near the Whataburger, but now chooses to live near the Dickey's BBQ. Manners were an important part of life from an early age. They were taught to him by his mother and reinforced when he realized that the world just works better when everyone lives by a certain code.

After a short hiatus in Alaska, Derek is now back in the hustle and bustle of big city life in Dallas, Texas.

Colin was born in Texas and raised in Ohio which is something of a promised land to him if his memory serves.

His parents worked long and hard to raise him as a decent human being, and he is just finally beginning to see what all the fuss was about.

Chris was born in Virginia, but grew up in Texas. Even from an early age, the expectations of being a "Southern Gentleman" were placed upon him, as were the standards that went along with it.

Those standards have served him well, and he'd be more than happy to pass them on to you.

Blair was born and raised in Dallas and still lives there. He appreciates the kindness of others and is thankful for being born with the part of the brain that alerts you when you’re being annoying. Just an alert – not a cure.

But as they say, "knowing is half the battle."
