Throughout their careers, the members of this team have crossed paths on a number of notable projects. Today they reunite with a shared purpose: helping older adults navigate the digital world safely, confidently, and with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing technological age.
A technology entrepreneur, author, and nonprofit founder focused on technology access for older adults, Henry Collins has long worked at the intersection of technology, education, and practical business applications.
Early in his career, Collins worked in the consumer electronics industry and spent time in Tokyo collaborating with companies connected to Japan's electronics sector. This experience helped shape his interest in emerging technologies and their impact on everyday life. He later moved into publishing and digital media, launching and contributing to technology-focused publications.
Collins is the co-author of Demystifying AI for Business Executives, a book that explains artificial intelligence concepts in practical terms for business leaders. The book reflects his belief that complex technologies should be accessible to non-technical professionals who want to understand how AI can improve business operations and personal productivity.
He later founded TSS Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization closing the digital divide for seniors. The foundation provides seminars, resources, and training programs that help older adults learn essential computer and AI skills while staying safe online.
A central initiative of the foundation is the Scam Awareness Training Application (SATA), an interactive platform that teaches seniors how to recognize and respond to phone, email, text, and in-person scams through simulated scenarios.
Through partnerships with healthcare providers, senior centers, and community organizations, Collins works to ensure that older adults remain connected, protected, and empowered in an increasingly digital world.

As founding publisher, he built Mobile Beat into a leading industry publication serving mobile entertainers, DJs, and professionals in the music, sound, and lighting industries.

Oscar Rivera is a prolific and highly skilled graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, videographer, and gifted storyteller whose creative work has spanned print and video media for decades. Known for his sharp eye for design and his ability to capture compelling visual narratives, Rivera has played a key role in launching several influential publications and creative projects.
Early in his career, Rivera teamed up with an industry colleague to form an advertising agency specializing in professional sound and lighting products. Their agency represented leading brands including Numark Electronics, Stanton Magnetics, Gem Sound, RLA, and VEI. Rivera's creative vision and design expertise helped shape the marketing and branding of these companies during a period of rapid growth in the DJ and professional audio markets.

Additional information about the project is available online.
Today, Rivera is once again teaming up with longtime collaborator Henry Collins to help bring older adults safely and confidently into the digital world.
