I have lived in Erie, PA my whole life except for my college years at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I managed to get a B.S. degree in Marketing and Communciations with a minor in Finance and MBA's in Marketing and International Business. Back in the day I was considered quite the athlete but now at 33 and with bad knees I find myself relishing in the less strenuous but more aggrevating sport of Golf...and yes, I am obsessed! Married with two beautiful daughters, life is pretty good...if only I could have married a Brown's Fan...I interviewed badly and married a Steeler's Fan and haven't heard the end of it since. Live and learn I suppose but at least my wife Kim allows me to buy watches which is my other obsession though I think it costs me more on the backend if you know what I mean.
Born and raised in Slovakia (former Czechoslovakia) I came to the United States to study and play Division I ice hockey. After I managed to get a B.A. degree in Computer Systems and M.S. in Organization Leadership, I decided to stick around and eventually founded newline Creations together with a school mate. Currently I spend most of my time managing large customer projects and working on internal marketing and technical projects. My true passion is inventing solutions to our clients' problems (I'm especially proud of solutions that nobody else thought of). When I get out of the office, I love to hit the golf course in the summer or hassle around a racquetball court (kicking Owen's butt) in the winter.
I speak Ruby, PHP, HTML, Javascript, MySQL, Slovak, Czech, English and more. Plus I can understand German or JAVA when I try really hard. This may come as a surprise because I graduated from Economic University with a Master's degree in Financial Audit. But during my college years I got in touch with Oto and eventually became a partner in newline Creations. My passion for web design & development is responsible for the change in my career. Currently I'm still operating from a small town in beautiful surroundings located in the heart of Slovakia that is located pretty much in the middle of Europe. Life is good here with my lovely wife Alenka but when we feel it's time to widen our horizons we just travel to some very exotic destinations with our heavy and ever expanding photo bags. Yes we both are avid photographers. In my spare time I used to spend lots of time on the basketball court but my knees don't like it anymore so I decided to practice martial arts and self-defense instead. That's safer for sure.
I was born and raised in small town Pennsylvania, and with slightly larger dreams I moved to the slightly larger town of Erie, where I have lived for roughly the last 8 years. With Erie being the snow capital of the world - I'm lucky to be an avid snowboarder and cross country skier. During the summer I pass the time by playing golf (kicking Oto's butt), and I have been known to play a video game or two (or three or four... or... well, lets just say I enjoy video games). I'm also a student multiple martial art styles, including Tae Kwon Do and Goshin-Jutsu. I took interest in computer systems and electronics at a very young age when my father purchased my first computer - an Apple IIe. Since then I've probably racked up more time in front of a monitor than anywhere else. When I realized this, I decided that I should probably formalize my passion, and pursued a B.S. in Management Information Systems from Penn State University. Not a bad idea.
Having been submersed in water my whole life, growing up in Erie fit my aquatic needs. I started scuba diving at the wee age of 6 and have been drawn to Presque Isle State Park for cycling, adventure, and relaxation. Leaving the Great Lake behind, I relocated to Columbus, Ohio where I received a BFA in Advertising and Graphic Design from Columbus College of Art and Design. Following the current, I landed back home in Erie where I've worked as a graphic and web designer, netting Addy Awards, experience and friends along the way. In my spare time I can be found cycling, curled up with a book, out with my family, or simply floating around with my husband, Chris, who keeps me doubled over in laughter, and swims like he's riding a bicycle.
I grew up in Brezno (Slovakia - Europe - World). I became a computer fan when I played my first video game. I graduated from Slovak Technical University with a Masters Degree in Electrotechnical Engineering. As a young inexperienced dude, I trusted Martin when he told me that working with Websites is the most interesting way to make money and I joined newline as a Web Designer and Developer. After 3 years, I'm still maintaining a positive attitude. I like playing Basketball and Street ball in the Summer and snowboarding in the Winter. I also like working out, hiking, rafting, inline skating, and going out with my friends. My dream is to be happy and fulfill my dreams.
Finally graduating from Edinboro University with a BS in Computer Science (after endless heckling from Tim), I've recently been upgraded from Intern to Newbie. I'm a 22 year old Erie native and Apple, Multi-touch, and Open Source enthusiast with a passion for great code and user interfaces. When I'm not being as nerdy as I sound, I lead a very active life. My BMX bike is a huge part of my lifestyle and travels, and my balance is far better on a bike than standing (seriously). There's nothing like the feeling of boosting through the air, and nothing I hate worse than crashing from that state. When not on my bike or in the office, I'm generally spending time with my friends or my lovely girlfriend Hali, who will likely take offense to my bike preceding her here!
I grew up in Erie. I graduated from Gannon University with a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering and have been working on computers since I was nine years old (good old IBM DOS 1.0 and BASIC on an 8086 processor). Now I spend most of my time working on more cutting edge server and network technologies and solving the problems they produce – making the bits and bytes go where they’re supposed to. ;-) When not in the office, I can be found hiking through the woods, kayaking, playing guitar, or spending time with my family. Being a long time Cowboys fan, and marrying a Steelers fan definitely makes for an “interesting” football season. When not perusing one of my hobbies or checking out new technology, I’m often digging out of the Snow Belt south of Erie....let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
