Magneto \ mag-ˈnē-(ˌ)tō \ A device that creates a highly-efficient electric current to generate a spark. The efficacy of the magneto improves as speed rises due to high-intensity spark. Magnetos are incredibly reliable, low-maintenance, and operate independently of any outside power source. Often found in racing cars and aircraft, where ignition failure would be catastrophic.

Co-Founder

"When experience and talent meet coffee and water, a smooth tasting experience is born. A rising star among startups, Riff Cold Brewed Coffee of Bend, Oregon, is the invention of Stumptown's former director of cold brew product development and Crux Fermentation Project's co-founder. This dream team brews with cold water instead of hot water, which takes its own sweet time producing its own sweet coffee – noticeably smoother, more chocolaty and less acidic than coffee brewed hot."​ Riff's Core Values: 1. We seek to build lasting relationships. We believe in the collaborative spirit that comes from teams working to create something great. And by definition, Riff is about spontaneity and creativity. 2. We are committed to transparency - to each other, our customers, our partners and our investors. We believe that being open and honest sets the highest standard for unequivocal quality, safety, and integrity. 3. We aspire to be a positive force in our community (and the world.) We value building teams and fostering attitudes that promote diversity, inclusion and a healthy environment. 4. Riff is about having fun with the people around you. We bring a playful, energetic and uplifting perspective to the people and places around us. 5. Innovation is our cornerstone. We push beyond the expected, to find new and endless possibilities in our products and our thinking.
