Peter Dering

San Francisco, CA

I grew up in Minnesota and defected to Madison, Wisconsin for college where I studied Civil Engineering. I've been in SF for 5 years, loving every second of it. Oh, and I'm expecting a baby girl right about when the funding period for this kickstarter ends. Daddy needs to buy diapers, so please don't be shy here
