Cherie Ve Ard
Cherie has been a life time location independent entrepreneur as a software developer, project manager, author, niche tech magazine publisher, instructor, strategy & product launch specialist.
With a thirst for wanderlust, she joined Chris in 2007 shortly after meeting online - and they've been full time in RVs and boats since. After sharing about their travels while working remotely, she got tired of constantly fielding questions about mobile internet - so started this website to attempt to harness it all.
Chris Dunphy
Chris has been pushing the boundaries of mobile internet since he first experimented with cutting the cord in 1996. He was the founding technical editor of boot magazine and went on to become the Director of Competitive Analysis (‘Chief Spy’) for Palm & PalmSource. His job was to constantly stay on top of the mobile technology industry.
In 2006, Chris hit the road in a tiny RV to explore full-time technomadic life, and soon after he met and partnered with Cherie.
Chris & Cherie are also known as Technomadia and share their travel lives by boat, bus and van via their blog and YouTube channel.

Andrew McNabb
Andy loves exploring the less-paved part of America, particularly the mountains and Utah's canyon country. He's also an avid gamer and international relations nerd.
After a career in federal government and military service, Andy and his family went full-time in an RV in 2017 but are now part-time RVers with a home base in Colorado.
He joined our team in 2017 and introduced new wizard-like powers to the team. He focuses on helping our members achieve their goals and following, creating and managing technical content.
Jen Nealy
Jen and her husband Deas have been RVers since 2013. They were full-time for 5 years, but are presently homebased in Asheville, NC. They are now part-time van lifers, and take trips as often as they can with their dog Finn.
Jen doesn't have a technical background, which we consider a plus to help us keep our content from going too deep in the weeds.
She joined our team in 2019 to help out with our content, research, and customer service.
Suzy McNabb
Suzy loves travel (nearly all kinds that come with comfortable beds), singing, and hanging out with family, friends, and pets.
Suzy and her family have been RVing since 2006, when they bought their first popup camper. In 2017 Suzy retired from the Air Force and spent a year full-timing with her family & cats in a Newmar Allstar Class A. She is presently based in Colorado Springs, CO and looking forward to her next trip!
Suzy joined our team in 2021 as the famed cat-herder-- tracking projects and tasks, and also supports research, content, and customer service.
Dan Heming
Dan combines a passion for technology, solar power, and adventure travel. An avid motorcyclist, he has explored all 48 contiguous states, Alaska, much of Canada, and more than 20 countries around the world.
After a motorcycle trip to Alaska in 2006 sparked his love of long-term travel, Dan transitioned to full-time RVing in 2017. He now travels in a truck camper with an enclosed cargo trailer and a couple of motorcycles.
Dan joined the MIRC team in 2022, bringing a strong technical background and years of experience living and working on the road. He helps members navigate mobile internet, Starlink, and RV technology while contributing technical content and industry coverage.
Andy Hull
Andy grew up in Wisconsin hunting, fishing, camping, and enjoying the outdoors. He has a keen interest in how things work and as a child felt compelled to take all things mechanical and electrical apart.
These passions and skills have served him well later in life in a career as an engineer and going full-time RVing with his wife when his daughter left for college.
Andy joined our team in 2020 and has become our antenna guru, after being an active MIA member since 2014.
Wendy Hull
Wendy was a master gardener and a beekeeper (the bees would not love the 5th wheel!) in Wisconsin but gave it all up to hit the road with her husband, Andy.
They have been full-timing since 2016 and plan on staying on the road long-term.
With a background in IT and office administration, Wendy joined our team in 2022 to assist with content management, research and customer service.
