Who Are We?

Meet the partners

Levi Hentges
Director of Business Development
Levi Hentges started programming in high school and continued through his college career. After college he changed gears and went into the manufacturing industry to concentrate on project management. In 2006 he relocated to the Minneapolis area and joined an international trading company as a sales manager for a product line of power sports parts and accessories. Levi's main focus was to improve customer service levels on all of its facets; product quality, delivery times, brand image and just making it more convenient for customers to work with their supplier. In 2009 he was approached by his longtime friend Chris McMacken to join up with Ross Nelson and develop a new kind of computer software company, Blue Worm Labs LLC.


Chris McMacken
Director of Web Development
Chris' interest in computers began on an Apple IIe in the early 90s, when he began playing text adventures on the family computer. In high school he took several programming courses, and from there decided to attend South Dakota State University where he studied various programming languages including C++ and Java. Chris graduated from SDSU in the spring of 2008 with a BS in Computer Science. Shortly after graduation Chris moved to Minneapolis, MN and began writing web applications in PHP and Javascript for various companies, including VISI and Best Buy Mobile.


Ross Nelson
Director of Application Development
Ross started writing software in QBASIC on his family's computer in 1997, teaching himself by reading tutorials and sample code that he found online. By the time he graduated high school, he had dabbled in a number of programming languages, both desktop and web. After graduating with a BS in Computer Science from South Dakota State University, Ross moved to Lincoln, NE, to pursue a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Nebraska—Lincoln, focusing on virtualization. When not working on his thesis or Blue Worm Labs projects, he spends most of his time working on photography.
