Kate Hiller is a marketing manager for TechDivision GmbH, and is an avid lover of traveling, any activities outside, and of course her dog Lola.

Kate has seen many parts of the world, mostly through her time in the Scripps' School of Journalism at Ohio University, and has completely immersed herself in the culture and lifestyle of her new home. Kate credits listening to her gut as the catalyst for these big life changes, and she wouldn't be living her dream life today if she hadn't!

Yuri Williams is the Founder of A Future Superhero and Friends, and is on a mission to spread good throughout the country, and one day, hopefully the world. Starting with an idea while sitting in his car after his mother's passing, to appearing on "Good Morning America" with The Rock and Michael Strahan, his mission is starting to gain some momentum. Dressing up in superhero costumes and surprising children with their most cherished gift, or providing tents and jackets to the homeless, Yuri feels he gets just as much in return as he gives; a message he hopes everyone will understand.
