PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE :
I've had many roles with my current employer, bmedia. I'm currently employed as the Chief Operating Officer. bmedia a specialized firm with a flat management structure and a group of highly-skilled, motivated employees. I’m an early riser. I like to get a good stretch of coding in before 9:00am. A typical day starts for me at 3:00am. This leaves the bulk of my day for pricing new business, connecting with clients and ensuring the success of our company, projects and products.
- CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
As the COO for an Interactive firm I'm responsible for the company's success, weighing the directions we pursue and the technologies we employ. I interface with the owner of the business, price new jobs and work with sales, technical and administrative staff. I've run the production of bmedia for the last five years. Every major decision in the day-today running of the company crosses my desk. I helped take the "idea" of a company to a highly lucrative, respected, award-winning business.
- DEVELOPER
Coding is my passion and I enjoy it immensely. I can code in several disciplines and each is interesting in its own right. I started out in the interactive field with VB and Lingo (Macromedia Director) and have moved to web based languages like C# and PHP. I'm a self-taught, innovative problem solver. My last piece of code was a half-a-million dollars of software, which I specified, designed the architecture for and wrote on my own, over the course of three long months. This particular piece of software is supports 2 platforms, 8 OS versions, is configurable by simply changing an XML and, in it's current deployment, morphs into over 70 variations, across 7 million units. I like to think of it as my "One ring to rule them all" project.
- DESIGNER
I come from a visual media background and have a very keen eye for good design. My first job with computers was as a 2D animator. From there I got into 3D with 3D Studio. I still use Photoshop everyday. In design I favor simplicity over complexity, whitespace over clutter. I believe it helps to enhance the message and user experience.
- EMPLOYEE
I'm committed to being a highly profitable member of any team. I enjoy learning new programming languages, teaching what I know about technology, setting an example on my approach to tasks and keeping up with new and breaking technologies. I love what I do, I've had one sick day in 7 years.
