Known mostly for puns, GSD (getting sh!* did), Carpe-ing all those Diems, and a career leading the national gap year movement. Ethan's careers have brought him thoroughly into outdoor education, experiential and international education, sustainable nonprofit and for-profit management, global risk management, community organizing, Buddhism, self-awareness and spirituality, and humor. He's a big-tent person who leads with heart, and launched Community Prep because he kept stagnating in his own disaster preparations, finding them overwhelming, isolating, and the product sites consistently disappointing.

Born off-grid, raised by wolves, and based on an island in Canada, Jenn has spent decades building community while living and working across six continents, pedaled 10,000+ kilometers, lived years in a tent, and still believes hospitality is the ultimate survival skill. She went to Harvard to go deep in climate adaptation, disaster management & response, and sustainability (among other things). She helps people build resilient communities powered by hope, good neighbors, and questionable adventures.

Jamil has survived a childhood alongside two sisters; the Lord of the Flies-esque anarchy of base housing; the grit of combat sports; the challenge of solo camping retreats in the Sonoran desert and Sandia mountains; and the wild adventures of serial-entrepreneurship. He finds balance with his favorite person, his wife and co-conspirator in all things. A lifelong maker and systems-thinker who is most at home in the fresh air, Jamil can't help but think in terms of "How" - how things work, how to make them better. Jamil is now applying all of his truest self to build the operational heart of Community Prep.

David is an inventor, constant optimizer, engineer, and connector. In a typical day he moves between digital designs, repairing bikes, breaking out the viola, and cooking dinner for any family or neighbors who drop by unannounced. He gets immense satisfaction from using every bit of the materials available, whether that is the meager sunlight captured on solar panels on a rural farm in Mongolia or building e-bikes out of scrapyard parts. He has a vision for a solarpunk future and each of his new designs takes him one step closer.
