Dylan - in Auckland
Dylan has been addicted to computers since his high school days and has dedicated the last five years of his life to learning as much as he can about the Internet, web sites and building online businesses.
Before working on happysheep and Zillion, Dylan founded nzflatmates to make life easier for people looking for flats and flatmates. Before that he studied Politics and Psychology at the University of Auckland.
When he's not behind a screen Dylan enjoys singing in Musica Sacra, reading books, playing videogames, watching and rewatching the Star Wars trilogy, sailing his R/C yacht, travelling and enjoying the company of friends and family.
Ruth - in Oamaru
Ruth looks after our members on Zillion and happysheep and has worked for us off and on since late 2005.
Ruth is the team member that you are most likely to deal with day to day and will be very happy to help with any queries or concerns.
Outside work Ruth is happiest curled up on the sofa with a book, playing videogames, and talking to interesting people.
