Ken runs TomitaDesigns, a custom furniture design/build company focusing on contemporary Japanese design. He also participates in BambooDNA, led by Gerard Minakawa building large scale bamboo sculptures around the world. His passion for community building led to Project Chaboo, a collaboration project based on his chaboo design.

His favorite animal is the once thought to be mythical Okapi.

The man who needs no first name, Rizzo has moved on from making Ducati motorcycle parts to a life of CNC superhero.

He has often been sighted in SE Portland getting dragged around on a skateboard by his crazy dog Miles.
