Constance Courtney Staley is a consummate communicator and has been since she was a little girl. She quickly learned that one must connect with people. A self-described army brat who studied in 10 different schools in a 12-year period, she believes that the cornerstone of communication definitely lies in one’s background. "No talk. No go. No future."

Raoul Johnson, or RC as he wants to be called, is a special individual. The Minnesota native is a stellar athlete juggling three demanding careers: training for a chance to represent the US in wrestling in the Olympics, pursuing a Ph.D. at UCCS, and being an entrepreneur. RC grew up in Minnesota and moved to Colorado Springs from Michigan where he went to college. RC trains at the USOC in Greco-Roman style wrestling and travels the world taking part in contests, and still finds the time to pursue a Ph.D. program in the demanding field of Computer Science at UCCS. As amazing as he is, he is also the CIO/CTO at a start-up company in Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs Record+ interviewed RC on the UCCS campus.
