Jimmy and I spent an hour trading music together. He would play me a 90’s punk song, and I’d download Pat Benatar (saying, I had music like that when I was your age). Turns out that Chris’ mom was the acting CEO of a new software company, “Napster.” I had never heard of it. It was a magical hour.

A guest Beneblog by Max Schneider People don’t typically associate boisterous merengue music with high-tech statistical analysis. Then again, I shouldn’t have been surprised when I heard the playful notes of a street band wafting through the window while in Guatemala with Benetech's Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG).

Second, he inspired us with his love of music. You know, we will all really miss Dad, but I know that we will always continue to be inspired by his example of loving technology, music, hard work and doing the right thing, humor and words and family.

I attend Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, Virginia where I am studying music performance.
