Meet the HorneNee Team


Brendan Nee
CEO (Co-Founder)
Brendan has been playing with the web for so long he can remember when Netscape was king and the blink tag rocked his world! He loves cities, traveling to cities, biking around cities, and taking pictures (of cities). When he's not goofing off, he's solving problems using web-based technologies or getting his tech news fix so he can write about it on his blog. He holds graduate degrees in in city planning and transportation engineering from UC Berkeley.
Jedidiah Horne
CFO (Co-Founder), VP of Communications
Jed is probably the best Ms. Pacman player you'll ever meet, and definitely the best Ms. Pacman player ever to have driven the Mexico City subway. At MIT, Jed' spent his time hosting a popular radio program and writing movie reviews for its student-run newspaper (and picked up a little engineering knowledge along the way). After college, he worked as a research analyst for Newmark Knight-Frank, one of the world's top commercial real estate brokerage firms, and has since returned to graduate school at UC Berkeley, where he is finishing the graduate program in city planning and transportation engineering. Jed developed a taste for gambling in his native Big Easy, and tries to sneak trips to Reno whenever possible.
