Rode a dotcom through being bought out by Microsoft, working in Redmond for a time.

Moved on to a top payment transaction company pooping out everything from eCommerce sites and code generation tools to Settlement Confirmation processes and Perl reports.

Tired of corporate red-tape and excessive meetings to determine future meetings, I came home to roost in the loving arms of the Illuminati.

Why do you love working at Illuminati Studios?

Being in a true collaborative environment surrounded by a great team.  Honestly I went from talking about doing stuff to moving mountains in a day.  What’s not to love?

What is something you've done professionally that you are most proud of?

I built Illumanet “from scratch.”   I can’t wait until I get to do it again.

What's the most important or interesting project you have worked on at Illuminati Studios?

The new Vision Research website has been my latest labor of love.  The old site had launched right before I started here and I have had a hankering for remaking it since the beginning.  Now every current site has felt the gentle caress of Ernie’s coding hands.  Or at least a nice relaxing sponge bath from my brain.

Why do clients need to talk to you?

I know how to make everything possible.  Also I always say yes.

What font best describes your personality?

I’m a hybrid between System and Futura.

What motivates you?

My daughter Marianne AKA BabyLuvs and my beautiful wonderful wifey honey poo Eileen.

What is your vision of a perfect evening?

Pizza, wine and board games with family and friends while listening to a new Decemberists album.
