Zach Hoeken likes to dream big, fail big, and win big. His true passion in life is acting as a catalyst and helping others do amazing things. Whether it is creating open source micro controllers (sanguino.cc), robot controller software (replicat.org), object sharing websites (thingiverse.com), self replicating 3D printers (reprap.org), or hacker collectives (nycresistor.com) there is one central purpose: to help other people help themselves create an awesome world to live in. He hopes that someday we can create a world that surpasses even the wildest futures portrayed in science fiction. He thinks the universe is and will continue to be completely rad. Do you want to help?
