Al is the non-techie of the SelfAssemblySites' founding duo. More of a big-picture thinker, he's a quick starter, a ponderer and full of the spirit of 'ah why not?'. At times devastatingly insightful while being able to admit when he's wrong or having hardly a clue what's going on, he's never afraid to ask simple, direct questions, trying to get to the heart of the matter.
