A bad*ss SWAT team of dreamers, designers, and producers

We have different skillsets, come from different backgrounds, and live in different time zones, but we share a common purpose: combining our superpowers each day to disrupt the status quo.

Chief Disruptor, Shawn Nason

Shawn Nason, founder & CEO of MOFI and the Nason Group ecosystem, is on a personal mission to disrupt as many industries as possible. To do this, he’s in relentless pursuit of putting the consumer’s voice first and infiltrating tired, outdated systems with bold, game-changing ideas, mindsets, and heartsets.

Shawn creates strategic disruption by combining the principles of consumer-centered design with radical relationships and a full-court press approach to making epic sh*t happen. He channels his frustration with the status quo into fighting for systemic change and inspiring others to disrupt with him. He’s the person in the room who is undeterred by convention, unafraid to dream big, and unable to settle for mediocrity.

Prior to launching MOFI, Shawn led the Healthways Innovation Living Lab, served as the chief innovation officer for Xavier University, and worked in the innovation area at Humana. He also spent six years at The Walt Disney Company in various capacities within Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Cruise Line. He’s the author of two books, The Power of YES! in Innovation (2017) and Kiss Your Dragons: Radical Relationships, Bold Heartsets, & Changing the World (2021), and the host of The Combustion Chronicles podcast.

Michael Harper

Bio

Beth

Beth Roberts

Bio

Beth has yet to meet a problem she couldn’t fall in love with—or a person she couldn’t build a radical relationship with. In fact, her superpower is building teams of like-minded disruptors to tackle big, hairy problems and then removing the barriers that stand in their way. She’s not just all about building teams, however; she’s happy to roll up her sleeves to get sh*t done to improve the customer and employee experience.

Michael Shupp

Bio

Marc Ruppenstein

Bio

Marc is head of relationships at MOFI, which does not—to be clear—involve matchmaking, couples counseling, or making your annoying little brother stay out of your room. (You’re on your own there.) Marc doesn’t like bullsh*t and wants to get straight to the point. He likes to stay in motion and loves to see action. He’s a staunch advocate for the customer/client and is always working to solve their problems.

Brownrygg Woolls

Bio

Helping people experience more wonder is what Brownrygg lives for. Living on multiple continents has given him unique access to see the world through other people’s eyes and create concepts that amalgamate the practical and esoteric. With superpowers ranging from web development to group facilitation to video and photo storytelling, he is well positioned to usher people into the unknown, which is where most transformation experiences of wonder are hiding.

Chelsea Weber

Bio

Chelsea is all about the visuals. She’s responsible for creating the look of MOFI brands and helping the team maintain brand integrity. An ardent opponent of Comic Sans and cheesy clip art, she lives to make MOFI pop off the screen and cause visual disruption, using design to bring us together and make us stand out. (She also lives to take out bad guys with RPGs in Call of Duty, so there’s that.)

Christopher Brennan

Bio

Christopher is a precision analyst and insight machine who is laser focused on bending reality to access the parallel universe where things just work better. He’s not shy about asking, “Um, why are we doing it this way?” then quickly saying, “Let’s have an all-night study session to figure it out!” Chris is obsessed with propelling us into the future and keeping tabs on what’s happening at the leading edge of change, from which he steals liberally.

Jared Johnson

Bio

Jared lives to shatter the status quo with the power of disruptive thought leadership. (He tried TNT first, but it was too messy.) When something new comes along, he’s the first to check it out, which means he frequently finds himself on the bleeding edge of digital communications. When he isn’t playing digital hipster—he was podcasting before it was fly—he’s probably racing through an obstacle course or hiking in the Grand Canyon.

Jesse Dunbar

Bio

Jesse’s a CX enthusiast, product pioneer, and strategy ninja who treats consumer problems as business imperatives. He viciously assesses a situation, synthesizes heavy data with acute rigor, and takes bold actions to implement a plan to move forward. He loves to provide critical feedback, which he believes is the gift that keeps on giving, just like carbs. Both a left- and right-brain thinker, Jesse has a passion for connecting people, teams, and innovative ideas.

Kevin Schwake

Bio

Mark Ray

Bio

Matthew Nadu

Bio

Matthew is laser focused on building community among men of all shapes, sizes, and colors, whether they’re young or old, rich or poor, urban, suburban, or somewhere in between. Oh, and this Philly native can hook you up with the best cheesesteak in town, so there’s that. Matthew’s your man if you want to learn about living on a sailboat, mining for gold in Alaska, or breaking stereotypical male bullsh*t and getting real.

Matt Wollman

Bio

Matt is a futurist, researcher, and bad*ss status-quo demolitionist. He’s passionate about being an explosive force for positive change and creating a better future for all, and he wields a utility belt packed with data, design, and a whole bunch of determination (which causes no end of trouble at TSA checkpoints). When Matt isn’t lighting fuses or clearing away the debris of the past, he can be found in the gym, in the tattoo studio, or in nature.

Paolo Korre

Bio

Paolo is our resident expert on design methods, craft beer, and being a smart*ss—not necessarily in that order. Rare is the complex problem he doesn’t attack with a smile and a methodology. Rarer still is the team meeting he doesn’t liven up with a wisecrack. You can usually find him ushering clients through ambiguous challenges or teaching design to professionals, all while wearing an ivy cap, the official headgear of craft beer snobs everywhere.

Scott West

Bio

Scott is MOFI’s version of that guy at the circus who can juggle a fishbowl, a sword, and the bumper from a ’57 Chevy. Our air traffic controller, he makes sure the crew gets where they need to be when they need to be there and with all the sh*t they need. And when chaos comes his way, he wrangles it to the ground like a trail boss. No matter the task, he’s happy to roll up his sleeves and wade in.

Vickie Maris

Bio

Vickie is one of MOFI’s social media mavens and our only self-confessed accordion player. (She also sings and plays guitar and piano in her and her husband’s band, Trouble With Monday.) Vickie’s expertise lies in helping clients create social media strategies that generate action, not just clicks, in an environment where the rules and the platforms are always changing. And if you need a llama to Zoom-bomb your next company meeting, just give her a call.

Our Advisory Board

The visionary disruptors on our Advisory Board help us keep our vision clear, our tools sharp, and our exuberance more or less in check.
