Root is supported by the George Kaiser Family Foundation and staffed by two Tulsans, Matt Carney and Kyra Bruce.
Matt is into sci-fi novels, collecting vinyl and basketball. He grew up in Tulsa and moved back home to start Root and his family at about the same time. You can find him at [email protected] or handing out beer to cyclists every summmer at Tulsa Tough.
Kyra is a born-and-raised Tulsan and a graduate of Oklahoma State University. She's an avid sewer and fan of the local music scene. You can contact her at [email protected] or by asking around at the next show.
