Justin's career has spanned decades. Not content with being an ace programmer, Justin decided to build game companies focusing on fun experiences and educational value. After running 21-6 Productions for 12 years, he decided it was time to try something a little different.
Enter Offbeat Entertainment. Offbeat was the perfect opportunity for Justin to merge his love for games and music into something exciting, relevant, and new.
From Rock Band charting to our own game releases, Justin has led the charge fiercely. Justin was also in a band called Dorian Gray and sometimes still thinks he is in his 20's (hence his bio picture).

Little is known of Jason’s youth. Some say he was raised by the rare Giant Blue Owl in Colorado’s mountains. Others speculate that he traveled with a band of traveling orphan thieves. But, most just think he spent much of his time indoors playing video games, not making contact with the outside world.
What is known is he graduated from CU Boulder with a BA in psychology. He then followed that up with a degree in Media Arts & Animation from the Art Institute of Colorado. Jason now spends his days drawing and trying not to burn his dinners.
Jason worked with Micah and Justin at 21-6 Productions prior to jumping on board with Offbeat.
