Peter.
​When he's not working, Peter is probably studying and practicing photography (B&W portrait photography, mostly). In addition, he's a self-appointed family photo archivist working to preserve and share his family's 150 year photo history. On weekends, Peter can be found on the open roads of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia taking in the sights on his touring motorcycle. He also claims he can still ride a unicycle after all these years.

​Fun Fact:  Peter once owned a software company focused on NeXT technology, and also served as an Air Force officer at the Pentagon.

Delana.
​Delana hasn't met an outdoor sport she doesn't like (pickleball, golf, volleyball and the list goes on).  She enjoys playing in pickleball tournaments, going on long bike rides or hiking on the weekends.  She also looks forward to time in the kitchen whipping up meals for her family (and a few nibbles for their dog).  Delana also has quite a passion for full bodied reds from California and Washington and dreams of one day pursuing a sommelier certification.  Shall we say, wine snob? ​​

Fun Fact:  Delana is still a kid at heart and loves to sing Sesame Street songs for anyone that would actually listen.

John.
​John’s quest for being the company’s resident geek is coming to fruition. When at home he can be found pouring over and cataloguing his vast collection of comic books, collectibles, and prints. His passion for all things fantasy and science fiction borders on compulsive. John also enjoys sampling all forms of craft beer, and has a special affinity for finding quality wines at good prices.  He also boasts a video game console collection that contains every console gaming system made since October 1972, starting with the Magnavox Odyssey.  His other hobbies include reading, live music, golfing, skiing, cooking & spending time with friends.  ​​

​Fun Fact:  John is quite successful in the world of fantasy sports and once won a trip to Hugh Hefner's playboy mansion.

Jeff
​20-years at DBA Zone

King of Geeks, Ruler of the DBA World.
​​In 1983, Jeff found his calling in life when he received his new Timex Sinclair 1000. Little did he know that one computer would evolve into a fully functional home data center. In college, Jeff worked a number of odd jobs to pay his way. One of the more notable ones was programming PLC controllers to automate farm equipment such as grain silos and feed troughs. In his spare time, Jeff hones his expertise in database technologies and has been published by Oracle, Quest Software, Rampant Techpress and several blogs.

Scott
​19-years at DBA Zone

Country Man with Big Cloud Dreams.
​​Scott is a former city boy gone country.  He spends his off-time working on the farm across the street from his house or helping neighbors with projects.  He also has a house reclamation project that seems to be never-ending. Quad riding, boating, hiking and anything outdoors is Scott’s happy place.   ​

James
​14-years at DBA Zone

Data Boy with a Killer Drive.
​​Affectionately known by his friends as "databoy" after an unfortunate vanity license plate from earlier in his career, James has always embraced his inner-nerd. James lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, (who was sure to "fix" the vanity plate error prior to marriage) and two children. James spends his time switching between dance practice and databases. When not at his desk (or in the bleachers), he can be found on the golf course or biking around the trails of Pittsburgh. He also loves traveling, both domestically and internationally, and trying out new restaurants, although this has admittedly slowed down with the addition of two little ones.

And the Piece that Completes Our Puzzle

She has been with us since the beginning, and our customers love her (we do too!)

Lisa
Office Manager
​
​22-years at DBA Zone

​Lisa enjoys singing and has been spotted doing karaoke at local dive bars and performing with the Renaissance City Choir.  She has been one of their feature soloists at their annual Cabaret, belting songs by Melissa Etheridge, Liza Minnelli, The Carpenters, Bill Withers and more.  Her other interests include wine and cheesing with her spouse, supporting the arts (as volunteer and patron), yoga, motorcycling, puzzling and reading.  Finally, the furry friends of the world warm her heart -- especially the current felines occupying their home, Becket & Frittz.
