About TrailBehind, Inc.
Anna and Andrew founded TrailBehind.com in 2008 to help people find great places to hike. Since then, we have evolved to develop mapping apps of all kinds, both alone and in partnership with other companies.
Anna is the real nerd of the two - an ex-Google programmer, with degrees in math and computer engineering, she calls all the technical shots. Andrew handles the business side of things, and writes clientside code. You can read some brief bios here.
