Neal Scott

A three time entrepreneur & currently Sr. Director of Ecommerce for an Internet Retailer Top 500 company, Neal’s passion for technology and never-ending desire to sculpt the perfect human body make him a critical asset to the SimGym team. As the father of two active children, Neal considers “coffee” a necessary food group, and he’ll take as much time necessary to cater to his wife’s every need. A strict weekly training regimen helps to accommodate these demands. His deep understanding of the fitness industry coupled with over 13 years in the evolving IT industry have brought many features to the SimGym mobile application found nowhere else. Carrying a bachelor’s degree in business from the best college in the Southeast (Western Kentucky University), Neal is armed for whatever is necessary to build and maintain the finest fitness application for mobile devices on the market. Functionality and navigational flow were at the top of the list during the birth of the SimGym iPhone App, but before constructing the project, Neal built a heavy weight team to properly deliver this design, its complex synchronization ability and the know how to include ONLY the most useful features for both the novice weightlifter and the professional athlete to experience a unique simulated training experience. A few quick serious conversations initiated by Neal, a "step up to the plate" leader, resulted in the birth of Apple Seed Apps (www.appleseedapps.com) to launch our own "sprinting out of the gate" 2010 trophy app - SimGym.

Brandon Lee

Early in his collegiate career, Brandon Lee took 2nd in the National Technology Students of America Competition after successfully designing a Tier 3 Rocket Control Launch Station. Not only has he always been a student of technology, but Brandon's passion and drive for health and fitness was conceived during a 10 year stride of competitive athletics including Track and Field, Football, Basketball, Horse Showing and Martial Arts. He was top 2 of over 500 entries to the Bluegrass National Karate Championships and helped lead his Football team to the 2nd round of the Championship Playoffs as Strong Side Corner-back, among other things. With strong interests in both athletics and technology, it was time to put these two fields to work in harmony. His faith in God comes first and empowers his role as the husband to a beautiful wife and father of two wonderful children. His knowledge of making things work is applied behind the scenes on a daily basis, but he comes up to breathe from a world of programming to hit the Gym at lunch with his Homies. He is the Senior Lead Programmer and Web Developer for an Internet Retailer Top 500 company and teaches others on a daily basis the ins and outs of development, troubleshooting and code creation, resulting in something that starts www. and ends in .com and excels in performance! Our first on staff employee with SimGym was actually a translator for Brandon as he definitely speaks an advanced and unique language. Just kidding, but not really. With technology at work and a love for Health and Fitness, Brandon partnered with the additional Co-Founders of SimGym with the goal of helping facilitate a new generation of the Health and Fitness nation.
