In 1996 I helped a local manufacturer build their first corporate social network...unbeknownst to them or myself. It was an interactive portal that engaged employees in social and corporate activities. The goal was to use the power of the internet to make communications easier throughout the organization.
In 1999 I created an interactive sports league site for a local hockey league that to this day generates more activity then any media site in the city.
I have since produced digital solutions or designed unique interactive tools for companies such as WalMart, Patagonia, Pep Boys (the solution is now a company called http://www.axonify.com/) and many more.
