Gizmo Productions was founded in the fall of 2006, however prior to that, all of the founders possessed many years of web development experience. Max Moulton and Kevyn Gilbert began developing their design skills as teenagers and eventually moved on to form their own company under the Gizmo name ("Gizmo" is a mash-up of Gilbert and Moulton). While Max and Kevyn were building their web design prowess in Taos, New Mexico, Destin Moulton was working on his degree in Computer Science at New Mexico Tech. While at NMT, Destin developed and managed the website for the distance education department. After graduation Destin joined forces with Max and Kevyn, and in November of 2006 they formed an official partnership in Gizmo Productions LLC.
