  The first Mac I ever laid eyes on was in 1985, when my uncle, who was a logistics officer for Apple at the time, brought one to my parents house. I don’t remember why he had a 512k Mac with him on vacation, but from that point on I wanted one.

  I acquired my first Mac in 1990 from a friend, it had been painted black – which was too cool – and had all the specs scraped off the case (a bit shady now that I think about it). I loved that little Mac, it was under powered, ran OS 7.1, had no optical drive, the monitor was tiny; but I accomplished and learned more than I could have ever imagined.

  In 1999. Apple released the first of the G4 towers, and shortly after, I had one on my desk. Later that year, Apple sent me an email with an offer I couldn’t refuse. It was a self paced Technician training course on CD & DVD, once again I ponied up the cash. Through December of 1999, and most of 2000, I worked full time and studied at night. Then in early 2001, I took and passed, the OS and Hardware Technician exams. I was ready to take on the world. It was about a month later that I found a tech job at a local Apple Specialist, and I haven’t looked back.

  I have been an artist my whole life, as well as been obsessed with technology.  So began my quest to better myself at both.  I graduated from the Art Institute of Los Angeles with a degree in Graphic Design and multiple certificates in web & mobile application development.  I realized soon that digital marketing was an important piece of the puzzle, and I love puzzles!  I wanted to be able to use my creative thinking to communicate with a target demographic.  I have worked in marketing, web development and graphic design for over 15 years and it is my passion.  Not only is Seth my analytical counterpart but is also my father in law.  Nothing works better than a family owned business!
