AJ Vaynerchuk

AJ Vaynerchuk is a college senior at Boston University who is desperately awaiting the "real world." He likes to think that is his strongest asset is his versatility (whatever that means).

Prior to co-founding 24736five along with Gary and Joe, AJ spent a summer in San Francisco interning at Revision3. While at Revision3 he worked in both web marketing and business development. On top of that AJ was responsible for the majority of Revision3's social media presence (Twitter, Facebook, Pownce, YouTube etc.)

AJ has had work published in the Boston Globe, Washington Post, and Peoria Times.

Chris Henslin is an interactive designer living in San Francisco. With 5+ years of experience, he spent the last 4 in Minneapolis at ideapark, a brand experience agency. While at ideapark, he worked very closely with General Mills on many of their interactive initiatives. His freelance work spans from legal to marketing to health site designs and business systems.

His work has received "The Show" and "Davey" awards.

Gary Vaynerchuk has captured national attention as a businessman and Internet celebrity. Gary's fame can be attributed to his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business building.

At a very young age, Gary took over the family business, a liquor store in New Jersey. Over a period of 6 years Gary and his father Sasha rebranded the business as Wine Library and transformed it from a local store doing roughly $4 million in sales annually to a $50 million national industry leader.

On February 21, 2006, Gary launched Wine Library TV (WLTV), a free daily video blog in which Gary tastes and reviews wines. Gary unleashed the same passion and gusto to building the WLTV brand (now affectionately known as "The Thunder Show") that he had previously brought to his business, with even more far-reaching results.

Gary has made television appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Ellen Degeneres Show, and he has garnered widespread media recognition including features by the LA Times and Washington Post.

Joe Stump has over ten years experience in web and software development. As Lead Architect for Digg.com, Joe is responsible for the quality of code produced for the site. He is the decision maker for coding standards and works to identify, recommend and select the right technologies for Digg.

Prior to working at Digg, he was the Director of IT at eNotes.com where he was the architect for a content management system capable of handling content from numerous sources and providers including simple database records, XML/XSLT and PDF documents. Prior to that he was a Web Developer/Systems Administrator for Care2.com, Inc.

Joe has authored pieces for O'Reilly's ONLAMP.com and has spoken at Facebook's F8 Developer Conference, FOWA, SXSW, MySQL Conference and PHP-Con West, to name a few.
