RabDab (aka Alan Garza), CEO and Editor in Chief
RabDab is not your typical IT geek, finding his true calling almost by accident. Having graduated from Stanford University with degrees in Chemistry and Biology, his intent was Medical School. But after a personal life changing incident, he soon realized Medical School was not the right choice of a career.

His nomadic spirit took RabDab to Philadelphia, earning his MBA from the Wharton School of Business. This corporate pedigree was ripe for recruitment, at which time RabDab found himself working for a "Big-5" consulting firm for quite some time. Tired of the travel and wanting to pursue his love of the written word, RabDab once again enrolled at Stanford University and earned his MA in English (emphasis on creative writing and classical literature).

RabDab’s love for the written word and technology acumen, soon found its calling with a chance meeting with Donald Leigh while the two shared frustration infused expletives on various golf holes at Pebble Beach Golf Links. This chance encounter has turned into the phenomena now knows as RabbleDabble.com.

RabDab currently resides in Menlo Park, California with his wife, Mrs. RabDab and son, RabDab Jr.

DabRab (aka Donald Leigh), CIO and President of Operations
DabRab IS your typical IT CIO; geeky, soft spoken, too pale from lack of sun and displaying a nervous twitch ... a sure sign of too much caffeine. Obviously, we jest as DabRab came to RabbleDabble.com after successful stints at Google, Yahoo! and Goldman & Sachs and is always the life of any RabbleDabble.com party.

DabRab is also a graduate of Stanford University, having earned Bachelor Degrees in Electrical Engineering and Political Science. Early after graduation, DabRab worked on an early Mars Rover initiative for NASA in Huntsville, Alabama. Having been disheartened by work for the government/military, DabRab decided that his true calling was academia.

Having decided on the East Coast, DabRab graduated with his MBA and later his Juris Doctorate from Princeton University and Columbia University respectively.

Being a Political Scientist by nature and education, DabRab firmly believes in the purpose of RabbleDabble.com and believes every man, woman and child in this world needs to realize the misconceptions we all have inside of us.

DabRab currently resides in Los Altos Hills, California.
