Makers
Jared Ebersole
Jared (23) has been an entrepreneur since the age of 15, creating his first company offering build-it-yourself (BIY) electric skateboard kits for adults (ridebkb.com). Last Christmas, he built an electric skateboard for his 7 year old nephew, Brian. Brian was so interested in how everything worked that Jared ended up taking the board apart to explain how everything came together to build the board he had so much fun on. And just like that, the idea for Lectec was born!
Luke St. Amand
Luke (23) has professional product and engineering experience with several companies, most recently at Amazon. He made the difficult decision to leave his stable job as an Amazon engineer to join Lectec full time with Jared, his best friend from college. He is passionate about encouraging the next generation to see all the amazing and fun possibilities of STEM fields early into their educational adventures!
Daniel Tellerman
Daniel (21) has spent several years working in marketing and management. He started skateboarding in middle school, quickly falling in love
What Inspired You to Make This?
Jared has been an entrepreneur since the age of 15, creating his first company offering build-it-yourself (BIY) electric skateboard kits for adults (ridebkb.com). Last Christmas, he built an electric skateboard for his 7 year old nephew, Brian. The first thing that Brain did when he got the skateboard was start to try and take it apart, asking "how does this work? What does this do?" Jared ended up taking the board apart and explained how everything worked. As Brian's mom (Jared's sister) watched, an idea hit her: Why not make skateboards for kids and teach them about engineering! Jared was immediately hooked, and just like that, the idea for Lectec was born!
