The Team
Josh (Thecyple) - Founder/Creative Director
After studying engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and working in the construction industry for 7 years, Josh decided to follow his passion and created Emidas. The story of an Elrond inspired orphan who finds his destiny and becomes the hero that he was destined to become. After taking a few days to sell out the first few Acts, Emidas soon began selling out instantly. A new cultural following appeared around Emidas, and thus, Gnogen was born soon after.
Thecyple is here to build the best Metaverse and to serve his community while doing so. He is not only the founder of Gnogen, but runs Head of Business Development for the Maiar Punks and is also currently in custodian charge of the Gnogen DAO Launchpad Program. Creative Director would be the official role within Gnogen, but will be temporarily playing the CEO role until Gnogen can properly fill out the C Suite.

His team of 5 will begin working on the Gnogen Trading Card Game, expected to be available for testing in Q4 2022.

Known around Discord as Thumper, Andrew entered the world of crypto last year and quickly knew that Elrond was where he wanted to be. He grew to love the community around the space and eventually found Gnogen where he ordered his 1st Emidas act.
