Tasker earned his BA from Bates College in studio and performing arts, followed by an Associate of Applied Science degree from Dunwoody College of Technology with a concentration in Machine Tool Technology.
A love of design, fabrication and technology led to positions in a variety of industries – including special effects for television, toy design, 3D printing and product design.
After serving as the Mechanical Prototyping Lead at Continuum, a global innovation and design consultancy (www.continuuminnovation.com), he turned to the field of education – where he served as a Technical Instructor at MIT for several years, mentoring students in the practical application of new technology and the process of iterative prototype development.
He lives in Natick Massachusetts with his wife, two boys, two cats, and a dusty barn full of pinball machines.
