Amber grew up in small town Montana in a household that was always full of animals. Her parents’ love for all living things spurred her passion for animals, which has only grown since. She still lives in Montana with her dog Mowgli, two cats Pixi and Squid, her rabbit Clover, and her fish.
Amber studied Biology at Montana State University and has focused the last few years of her career working in STEM. She is excited with her transition back into a field that focuses on her passion: animals.Amber has a deep personal relationship with the emotional benefits animals provide. She strongly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience these benefits, and understands how difficult connecting with mental health providers can be. Especially in small communities like the one she grew up in.
Amber is thrilled to be a part of the Pettable Team and contribute to our mission: providing people with the recourses they need to keep their cherished animals close and their mental health a priority.

With endlessly supportive parents, Breanden grew up in the mountains of Northern Nevada surrounded by pets ranging from snakes to macaws to horses. Some of his fondest childhood memories were from building barns and shoveling manure for long hours on Sundays with his dad. It was during this time that he developed a deep appreciation for animal well-being and hard work.
Breanden went on to receive a degree in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University where he rediscovered his love for horses through the sport of polo. In the years since, he and his family have worked to make horses a significant part of their lives.
Breanden is now the cofounder and CEO of Mechanism, a San Francisco based venture firm. Previously, he was the cofounder and COO of a staffing company that bootstrapped its way to 9-figure revenues and required extensive global travel.
It was during this time that Breanden saw how deeply universal and important the animal-human bond is for people across the world. From gauchos in Argentina to family farms in Europe to olympic horse jumpers in New Zealand, animals simply make people better humans.
