I grew up in Indonesia with a population of over 200 million people and after graduating Sanata Dharma University in 2002 I began working in Jakarta, the Capital city. I worked in the fruit import industry for several years, as a second grade teacher, and as a marketing representative during my years in Indonesia. In 2014 I moved to the United States to marry my husband and began working at Riverside Casino as a Cook in the dessert station at Roberts Buffet which I took great pride in. In my free time I like spending time with my husband, family, and friends. I especially enjoy the time I get to spend with my two beautiful dogs, Emma & Charlie.

When Schuyler isn't at Riverside Casino, he's likely fishing no matter the season. He also enjoys hunting, basketball, and other competitive activities.

Jerry is from Southern California. While working on his Psychology degree he played drums for a while in Orange County's 114th greatest band of all time. He eventually landed at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and that experience led to work at several Hollywood production companies. And that experience led to a head writer gig, and Los Angeles Emmy nomination (didn't win!), for a cable TV variety show. Jerry happily returned to Iowa in 2013 when his wife began her doctoral studies at UI. He has worked at Riverside Casino since 2015. He enjoys running, reading, dog walking, golfing, and riding his bicycle.

You'll always see him with a smile ready to give a helping hand. Before coming to Iowa City, he happily worked in sales and home décor including decorating in the Parade of Homes in Davenport. Charles has been casually writing a short story that someday he hopes to publish. When not at Riverside Casino, he spends time with family, traveling, and competing in video game competitions.
