Derek is extremely interested in the way we interact with technology. He's a bonified web geek and has spent the last few years building, managing, and thinking about digital communities. At Foodtree, he is responsible for the total relationship with all foodtree users. Derek was the owner of a thriving financial planning practice and is a co-founder of one of the web's largest personal blogging communities.
He's a product of the Human-Computer Interaction program at Stanford University and while there captained the men’s soccer team to two National Championship Finals. He spends what little spare time he has hunting music and ideafreaking.
Anthony Nicalo has spent his career as a chef and entrepreneur dedicated to the notion that stories accompany everything we consume: the story of what, the story of where, the story of when, the story of how, and the story of why. Every business he turns his hand to celebrates provenance – from provenir (Fr.) “the origin or source of something” – as the heart of what makes things good.
His journey began with Farmstead Wines, and an effort to share the dedication and passion of winemaking vinaroons with eaters. His work continued on to Farmfed, a non-profit organization dedicated to authentic food and farming, and into his line of chemical-free chef’s apparel at Dajoji.
Now Anthony is pouring that same passion for ethical sourcing into Foodtree, a new model for transparency in food production, distribution and marketing.
Foodtree is looking for great people to join us. Full time, part time, and volunteer positions are available, so if food is something you think about regularly, head over here to see how to get involved!
