About
I am graduate of CMU where I earned degrees in Marketing and Graphic Design. I started ImageQuest Design in 1998 and has extensive experience in nearly every facet of Web, multimedia and print marketing. In 2006 I merged with two other businesses to form Qonverge. My Muskegon focused podcast, Inside Muskegon (www.insidemuskegon.com) has received extensive media coverage and praise throughout the region...their words, not mine :-) My focus is on developing marketing solutions for small businesses and non-profit organizations. "My specialty is working with small businesses to provide marketing services typically only available to large corporations. I enjoy helping small business owners cost effectively promote their business by maximizing their marketing investment." I am active in the Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club of Muskegon, Leadership Muskegon and Benchmark Productions. I serve on the board of directors for the Mona Shores Education Foundation, steering committee for Central Michigan University's Lem Tucker Speaker Series & Journalism Scholarship and board of directors for the Muskegon Baseball Club. I also am the host of the Inside Muskegon Podcast. I live in Norton Shores with my wife, Tracey, and three children, Emma, Grace and Aaron.

iPhone Blogging Oct 24
I finally broke down last week and got an iPhone. Call me a sucker for the latest gadgets, but after hearing months of hype I had to have one. Did the iPhone live up to all that hype for me? In a word "no"...it far exceeded it!
