EDG started with two people. When John Spicer joined in 1992, they grew to three. I joined when Mike Anderson retired from software development in 1999, so we were still just three. Mike Miller joined in 2004 to make it four. Mike Herrick in 2007 to make it five. We were briefly seven in the early 2020s, and then fell back to six when Ellen Herrick stepped down. The three youngest of us moved to NVIDIA about a year ago.

Steve Adamczyk, the founder, told me that he created the company to be able to enjoy his work rather than to grow it into something that would rob him of that joy (I hope I paraphrase it right): He is an awesome human!
