: Neil was clearly the star of the show; watch him, starting at
: the 12:10 mark.

: Neil is head of Discommon (an industrial design firm) and has
: undertaken projects with TAG Heuer and with Abel Court. Neil
: realized that through his connections in China, he might be able
: to source these surgical masks, and he spent five weeks making
: it happen.

: We're proud of you, Neil!!
