A letter from our cofounders

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.

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 resources they need to keep their cherished animals close and their mental health a priority.

Erin grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has always had a love for animals! Growing up she had two dogs, and her first job was at a horse barn feeding the horses and walking them out to their pastures every morning.

She moved to Montana to study Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems, where she quickly realized that she loved working with people and helping the community. Erin made Montana her home with her husband and two dogs, Kurtis and Olive. Their favorite activities are skiing, camping, and taking their dogs on adventures! With the growing popularity of Bozeman, Montana, Erin has realized firsthand how difficult it can be finding housing that accepts pets. Her dogs are truly her family, so she could never imagine the struggle of being separated from them which is why she loves advocating for pet parents to stay united with their furry loved ones by working for Pettable.
