I've been fortunate to work with some of the best minds in the interactive media world the last 20 years. These people have helped me to achieve the following: My career came out of the software development environment at Bell-Northern Research (now Nortel Networks, in Dallas), where I developed some of the earliest business uses of multimedia. I then started my own multimedia company in 1991- Io Media - which I soon sold to Sanctuary Woods Multimedia (of Ottawa, Canada). These early companies focused on business and consumer multimedia development. I got involved in Internet development when I was next hired as Executive Producer of Eagle River Interactive (now Agency.com), where I set up their Dallas office. From there I oversaw the development of web, multimedia and print projects as Executive Producer at Inmedia (Dallas), Director of Site Development at OnlineFocus (San Francisco bay area), Director of Online Development at I.con Interactive (Dallas), Delivery Principal at Luminant (Dallas) and most recently as Vice President and COO at InSite Interactive (Dallas). |
