What twisted minds could possibly have unleashed Quelf upon the unsuspecting public? Learn how each of the creators of Quelf pushed their creativity to the max, battled through adversity and created the mind-boggling game of Quelf.

Matthew Rivaldi
PRESIDENT

Matthew Rivaldi did not kill himself a bear when he was only three. He has not walked on the moon. He has never torn the wings off of a Gondark.

Despite these few shortcomings, Matthew has painstakingly built up a following of people who are extremely confident in his abilities to succeed in each and every endeavor he undertakes. Matthew has an easy-going demeanor and an ability to shake off adversity and rise to the top.

Before taking over as CEO of Wiggity Bang Games in 2004, Matthew built a successful business enterprise out of houseofmagnets.com. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of California, San Diego, and earned his Master's Degree in Business Administration from San Diego State University.

Matthew is a born leader, a testament to the human spirit and all that is good in people. An avid surfer, Matthew firmly believes in seeing the big picture, in paying attention to what is important in life, and that no wave that life throws at you is too big to overcome.

Matthew is happily married to his lovely wife Jean and is the proud papa of his little boy Jack, who both bring him joy and happiness every day.

Robb Earnest
KEEPER OF ALL THINGS WIGGITY

Robb Earnest has never won a Nobel Peace prize. He has never eaten an entire antelope in one sitting. He has never been able to move an object just by thinking about it.

One thing that Robb HAS done, however, is consistently, time and again, reach for the stars.

Robb and Jeremy grew up in a little slice of suburbia in Northern California called Santa Rosa. Friends since they were toddlers, the two were often confused for brothers. Life in Santa Rosa was pleasant and slow paced, and left Robb and Jeremy plenty of time for dreaming big, of making each other (and anyone they came in contact with) laugh, and of pushing their creativity to the limit.

Robb always knew that his life would lead him down a path toward keeping the laughs coming, the creativity flowing, and of keeping everyone he meets entertained. While attending college at the University of California, San Diego, Robb worked in the music industry, booking concerts with some of the biggest names around, including Sheryl Crow, Beck, The Ramones, No Doubt, Rage Against the Machine, and many more.

Upon graduation, Robb switched gears and began working in the film industry. He has worked with Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning directors, producers, and actors on a bevy of feature films, including Fightclub, Mulholland Drive, What Women Want, Ali, Solaris, Jackass the Movie, and Team America.

Robb cannot help but smile at the thought of people the world over laughing heartily as they play the game of Quelf. Keeping the world entertained has been a life-long goal of Robb, and the success of the game of Quelf brings the dream into reach.

Jeremy Fifer
CREATIVE GENIUS

Jeremy Fifer has never been nominated for an Oscar. He has never successfully navigated an asteroid field. He has never bet a million dollars on a single roll of the dice.

While these shortcomings might be enough to get the average man down, Jeremy is no average man. He is, without a doubt, one of the funniest people you will ever have the pleasure of being around. It is his incredibly infectious sense of humor that was critical in constructing the hilarious game of Quelf. Once you have played the game, you will ask yourself how ANYBODY could have come up with some of that stuff. Once you have met Jeremy, you will no longer need to ask that question.

Jeremy is a devoted husband and father of two amazing children and a graduate from Point Loma University with a degree in biology. A lifelong avid purveyor of technology, Jeremy turned to computer programming upon graduating, and quickly obtained his Microsoft certifications. Jeremy is also a cancer survivor and truly believes that 'laughter is the best medicine'.

A man of many talents, a hall of fame type of personality, and a willingness to accept nothing less than overwhelming success, Jeremy is a key factor behind the creativity of Wiggity Bang Games.

Jeremy currently lives in Littleton, New Hampshire where it gets colder there than Moscow, Russia.
