Rafferty Pendery

Rafferty was born in Los Angeles, California and now resides in the tropical paradise of Clearwater, Florida. Between scuba diving, the prestigious Explorers Club and working on NASA projects (seriously!), Studio98 founder, Rafferty Pendery, hops off his motorcycle to develop selling solutions and SaaS that help business owners SELL more and PROFIT more! But money isn’t the motive…14 years ago, Studio98 was built with the intention of helping people. Period.

Serving thousands of companies across many industries, we believe that helping a business owner sell more not only makes their life better but also improves the lives of their families and their staff. It’s all about setting an example that inspires and motivates others to help their fellow human beings. It’s that ripple effect.

Rafferty and his uber-talented wife and business partner, Hana-li, value high ethics and integrity in their personal and professional relationships. Through these relationships and globe-trotting public speaking engagements, they’ve helped generate over a billion dollars in retail sales to date and have helped thousands of people improve their business and personal lives.

And by extension, and the ripples we may never personally see, that’s how we change the world.

Hana-li Pendery

Hana-li was born in Manhattan, New York and grew up traveling the world with her mother. She now lives in the beach haven of Clearwater, FL with her husband and business partner, Rafferty.

In an ever changing landscape of culture, art and technology, Hana-li looks for the universal specificity that unites us in being human. Reminding people to stay true to themselves amid the constant bombardment to fit in, she believes that being unique is what makes us whole and what ultimately unites us.

As an internationally acclaimed artist, public speaker and co-owner of Studio98, her passion lies in inspiring and helping clients (and all people) to achieve their full potential in all areas of their lives. “We can always change our destiny and the world around us…sometimes we just need to be reminded.”

With so many people fighting for a spot in the world, Hana-li and Rafferty have simply made their own.

Since he was a young boy, he’s been fascinated with the stars in the night sky, leading to an interest in astronomy and a love of all things tech-based. “It is our ability to adapt that will one day take us to the final frontier!” Claudio loves anything with the word “star” in front of it – Star Wars, StarGate, Star Trek, you name it – even Starbucks! As such, he’s a true coffee lover and has become a connoisseur of the delicious beverage in all its shapes and forms.

And last but not least…he holds a brown belt in Shotokan Karate!
