Dean Elliott is the larger than life Founder & CEO of Mad Toto, and other ventures. Dean is what might be considered a serial entrepreneur, having been a part of what seems to be every industry imaginable since earning his liberal arts degree from NYU. Starting in the late 90′s, Dean was coordinating location logistics, including security, medic & transportation, for the booming reality TV industry. He worked on just about every reality show you can name, on location all over the world. At the same time, Dean was building a reputation as a successful voiceover artist, voicing spots for many of the coolest brands, including Volvo & the WWF. Everything Dean does, he does wholeheartedly, and with a passion for excellence… not to mention, his birthday happens to be 4-20.
Colin has been working with Dean on various projects for over a decade, and currently mans many positions in the Mad Toto offices. From maintaining daily logistics and operations, handling the company network and IT infrastructure, managing advertising and label / product design for the company, to developing the world wide web presence for Toto, Colin stays busy. He is also the in-house audio engineer for CEO and voice-over artist Dean Elliott. Outside of the Mad Toto compound, Colin is the owner and director of the Dallas based Poor Vida Productions, a forward thinking culture development company, where he acts as in-house web and graphics designer, audio engineer, and anything else that lands on his plate.
