Dusty Davidson
Dusty is a former software developer turned marketing and product guy. After a short stint in corporate America, he decided that what he really wanted was to build a great software company, and surround himself with smart, passionate people. He now spends his days figuring out how to let the world know how great Tripleseat is. Outside of work (though certainly related), he enjoys traveling the world and eating great meals – from dive bars to the world’s top restaurants.
Fun facts
It’s no secret that Dusty is addicted to Diet Mt. Dew, as demonstrated by the countless empty cans that line his desk at the end of each day. He also has a slight addiction to Oregon Pinot Noir, though thankfully not quite in the same quantity.
Kevin Zink
Kevin is just a dude who writes a lot of code and strives to build a great, hugely successful company. He really enjoys having
a fun work environment, creating software that simplifies peoples lives (and doesn't suck), and ogling well-designed websites.
During the workday, he frequently tries to expose his fellow coworkers to his stellar* tastes in music (like cool electronic
stuff and, yes, top 40 radio), much to their dismay!
*opinion
Fun facts
He really enjoys working on home improvement projects and fixing things around the house. When asked for random facts, he told us he didn't consume an "adult beverage" until 22 years of age. He described it as "unfortunuate". Even though he slaves tirelessly to continue to make Tripleseat rock, Kevin is still able to achieve a "Master League" rating in Starcraft II.
Brian Neste
Brian is Director of Account Management for Tripleseat. A lifelong love of food and fun led Brian to a degree in hotel and restaurant management and a career in sales and catering automation. Before joining Tripleseat, he spent 15 years in various marketing, training, and product management positions. Brian proves that Tripleseat is more than just software, by helping clients improve and streamline their private dining processes, effectively manage leads, and book more business. When he’s not busy making Tripleseat clients happy, you’ll find him outdoors snowboarding, surfing or hiking.
Favorite foods
Brian loves any local and organic food with a particular penchant for creative preparations of vegetables like roasted brussels sprouts or artichokes in wine sauce. And since life’s too short to eat healthy all the time, Brian indulges in other favorites including tater tots and anything chocolate.

Katie Napli
Katie has been involved in the hospitality business for 15 years with roles ranging from a pizza maker at the local Pizza Parlor to a hostess at The Outback Steakhouse to a Director at The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne.

When not working at the greatest place on earth – Tripleseat – Katie spends her time with her family, friends, and her devoted majestic monster: her dog, Duncan.
Favorite meal
Katie's favorite meal is homemade paprika crusted ahi tuna with a Coors Light to wash it down.
