Meet the Team

  • Aaron "Martinisoft" Kalin

    CO-FOUNDER & MANAGER

    Hiya! My real name is Aaron though most call me Martini like the drink. I'm an accomplished software engineer with a family history in the bar and restaurant industry. You'll usually find me relaxing at the bar enjoying a cocktail with friends or cooking in the kitchen when I am not in front of a computer screen.

    My interest in home brewing goes back to 2012 when I got my first home brewing starter kit. Through a lot of usually delicious trial and error, I perfected many of the recipes we use today at Slightly Furry.

  • Ray "Spork" Araldi

    CO-FOUNDER & MANAGER

    I'm a loud-mouthed & brash rabbit, chased down this rabbit hole by a soft spoken yet dedicated & stubborn fox. I'm that guy that says he's just along for the ride but 10mins in, I've researched 3 different routes to our destination that are not only faster but have stops along the way to some hidden food & beverage gems.

    Prior to Slightly Furry, I've been working in multimedia production for over 10 years, mostly in voice-over direction/editing/engineering in sound-proof closets & dark basements. Before that I was building network maps and tinkering with fiber optic & ethernet cable in loud, fan-filled closet in some basement.
