Dry Lightning Labs is an independent studio building software, mobile apps, and video games. We started with an arcade, and that's still the spirit of everything we make.

03 / about

Why “dry lightning”?

Dry lightning strikes from a desert sky without a drop of rain. You get the flash without the storm.

That's how we like to build. Dry Lightning Labs is a small, independent studio, so you work directly with the people writing the code. Our ideas start as experiments in the lab and turn into software, apps, and games people actually want to use.

04 / founder

From the tee box to the terminal.

Garret spent nearly twenty years as a golf professional. Not the kind you see on TV, but the kind who teaches.

He coached players of every level, ran tournaments for corporations and major charities, and worked USGA and SCPGA events. He also spent years as a master club fitter for every major golf brand, matching players to equipment one swing at a time. Golf taught him discipline, patience, how to handle a bad round, and how to stay steady when things don't go your way.

Games and computers had been his passion since he was a kid. When he and his wife welcomed their son, he decided it was time to chase it. He finished the cybersecurity bootcamp at Fullstack Academy and started building. Bitcade came first, and Dry Lightning Labs grew out of it.

“I want to make things people actually need and want in their lives, things that make their day a little easier or a lot more fun.”
