To escape from cyberspace Michael loves to keep up with physics and his favorite physicist is Richard Feynman.  He also enjoys reading or listening to books on any topic he finds interesting, photography, and coming up with a big idea. If he could have any superpower it would be time travel.

Kathryn, along with her husband Michael, founded Half a Bubble Out in November 2002 and has the vital skills needed for impeccable customer service.

She spent nine years selling complex software for the public sector, where she learned her strong project management skills. She is a strong teacher and clear communicator.

To escape from cyberspace Kathryn loves to be alone in a crowd of people, read and journal at her favorite coffee shop, and take a walk through the park. She lets Michael do the cooking, and is happy to do the dishes. If she could have any superpower it would be flying or being invisible.

Jenna Redman | Content and Email Marketing Coordinator

Jenna officially joined the Bubble in August of 2017, though she has been working on and off for us since 2012 during summers and school breaks while she was at school. She grew up in Chico, California, but went away for school and got her Business Administration degree from Seattle Pacific University in Washington. If you didn’t make the connection with the last name, she is in fact the daughter of Michael and Kathryn and has made HaBO a true family affair, although she says she doesn’t want to run the family business.

To escape from cyberspace, Jenna loves to read books and either bake a yummy treat or make a DIY project. If you don't find her with her nose stuck in a book she could be at a country concert singing her heart out. She is famous for talking way too much and for being willing to help anyone with any task. If she could have any superpower it would be to control time.
