SAM BAKER graduated from Santa Clara University in 2008 with degrees in Finance and Music. After graduation, he spent an uninspiring yet educational summer in a corporate finance team for a major sporting goods company. In the fall, he left for a five-month trip around the world to research outstanding entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their local communities. Thoroughly humbled by the experience and excited to get to work, Sam stopped off in El Salvador for six months in order to help launch a partner bank for Kiva.org, a U.S.-Based micro lending website. When one of Sam's Salvadoran friends, Chamba, traveled four hours by bus from his community in the mountains to use a computer and Internet Sam realized the irony in spending hours waiting to get high speed Internet. Consequently, he set out to find a way to bring affordable access to technology and information to anyone in El Salvador who wants it. In addition to loving all things tech, Sam sings, reads non-fiction books, and enjoys Indian food.

BRIAN BELCHER graduated from Santa Clara University in 2009 with degrees in Finance and Economics. While originally on track towards working in the private sector with past internships at top firms Smith Barney, and Deloitte, he was touched by SCU’s focus on social justice, and discovered a true need and application for his business acumen in the developing world. Brian was accepted into the Leavey School of Business Global Fellows Program, and three days after graduation he was off to Guatemala to work with Mercado Global, a non-profit dedicated to supporting artisan cooperatives. While at Mercado Global, Brian laid the foundations for a micro credit program to provide microloans for cooperatives, allowing them to develop more efficient processes of creating artisan crafts. While at SCU, Brian attended a study abroad program in Barcelona where he immersed himself in many unique cultures while traveling to over 20 European and African destinations. When not in the Computod@s "office," Brian can be found on the basketball court, playing the guitar, or surfing the web swinging in his Guatemalan hand-made hammock.
