Mentors

Our mentors are some of our most valuable assets. Family of members and alumni of the team generally make up the group, and they're always there to share their expertise in anything. A lot of credit is due to every mentor we have, from our cooks, to our programmers, to our mechanics, and everybody in between... The Shifters wouldn't be here without you!
