Meet Our Team

James is our Technical Co-Founder who built the first version of TeamBuildr in 2011. As the manager of our development team and mobile app development, the current and future vision of TeamBuildr lies largely in his hands. With great power comes great responsibility.

Born and raised in Maryland, James enjoys craft beer, cycling and watching football with his wife Becky and their 2 sons, Russell and Tommy.

Hewitt is the Sales & Marketing founder of TeamBuildr. When not helping strength coaches, Hewitt can be found lifting heavy, on long runs with his dog Bella, skiing with his wife Sarah or golfing with literally anyone. He is known for "hot takes" in the office and being a mediocre eSports athlete.

Luke heads sales at TeamBuildr and considers himself a simple man: He sells the best product in the strength and conditioning software market and he's committed to his men's league softball team.

You'll often find him in one of our office sheds showcasing TeamBuildr to strength coaches. He's known for bringing energy to the office, and stellar Smash play with the Ice Climbers. Outside of work, he's probably watching one of the local DC sports teams or playing pickup soccer with his wife Jess.

Ali is our Marketing Manager in charge of everything from making the website look pretty to making sure our booth is not a disaster at the next conference!

A former collegiate National Champion lacrosse player, Coach "Shoo" is also a local strength and CrossFit coach here in DC. When she is not running the office guys through circuits, she can be found training (duh!), going to the beach and cheering for the New York Football Giants.

Elvis Guillen is TeamBuildr's front-end developer but is an all-around creative. With more than 8 years experience working with digital media, Elvis has a solid understanding of what it takes to handcraft an awesome user experience. When he's not coding, Elvis is honing his skills as an electronic musician and film composer.

Colin is our in-house back-end engineer. When not slinging code in the office, Colin is teaching Vinyasa flow yoga, keeping a low profile from social media and camping/hiking. Colin is currently our in-house COVID-19 export and is referred to as "COVID Colin" as he uses his degree in Public Health to keep us all informed.

Kristy played soccer at Stanford University and won the NCAA D1 National Championship her senior year. She then worked as an assistant coach for Boston College Women’s soccer team and then as Director of Operations for Harvard Women’s Soccer Team.

Kristy has recently taken up the sport of pickle ball and has 2 former teammates that play for the US Women’s National Soccer Team (Kelley O’hara and Christen Press); she also has a cat Max who thinks he is a puppy and often goes for walks with Kristy on his little leash.

Brandon is the leader of TeamBuildr's "in-house" performance staff and is responsible for overseeing the development of all of our programming via his extensive, international network of S&C coaches.

His personal training philosophy can be summed up as a holistic approach to preparing athletes which uses various training disciplines to produce a functionally strong and mobile athlete that will be prepared for all aspects of competition.

"The greatest part of the strength and conditioning profession is the variety of different methods that can be employed to elicit a similar response. I have found that may coaches use a variety of different principles when it comes to training. I think the best thing that was as coaches can do is seek out those we feel are at the top of the game and learn from them. Most coaches I have found are more than willing to share information."

Brandon is played Football at East Carolina University and is a National Olympic Weightlifter. When not lifting, Brandon is a self-proclaimed movie buff that goes as often as he can.
