NOMAD (Naively Optimistic Mobile App Developers, LLC) was established by Mike Reiners, a high school math educator, and Reuben Simonson, a former console game developer known for his work on the platinum-selling PlayStation title, Pandemonium! What began as a casual discussion about their shared interest in game development and educational software quickly evolved into a mobile app development team. NOMAD soon drew in several skilled programmers and enthusiastic young developers who embraced the company's vision and innovative app ideas, forming a committed and passionate group of creators.
