Roman Warmke, Owner

An adamant supporter of open source software, he is a fan of shell access, WordPress and PHP. When not hacking away on a computer in some quiet corner, Luke can be found renovating his home in Amesville, hiking and rollerblading with his dog Ezra and hanging with his bear friend Misty.

Jay Warmke, Project Manager

Jay is not only Roman's smarter older brother, but brings a host of practical business experience to bear when needed. Jay has been instrumental in creating several large global business enterprises - in fields as varied as comic book distribution ($50 million annual sales) to telecommunications training (22,000 clients in 85 nations). Jay and his wife Annie, along with their granddaughter Catlyn recently spent 3 years living near Paris - then took a "gap year" and traveled around Europe (ending up in England mucking out stables in exchange for riding lessons). They now own and run Blue Rock Station - a sustainability center in southeastern Ohio that features Ohio's first "Earthship" - a self-sufficient home made of tires, cans, bottles and mud.

Beth Flick, Graphic Designer

Sean Pogue, Web Designer

Mr. Pogue is something of an enigma. Immersed at an early age in studies of futuristic media theorists such a Marshall McLuhan and William Gibson, Sean jumped on board the internet back in 1985 and is still out there somewhere. Candidate for mayor of Athens in 1990, he suggested that Athens build an "extraterrestrial starship landing pad" on top of the city parking garage to promote "intergalactic tourism." In the 90's Pogue gave up on politics and disappeared into the Mexican desert, sending back cryptic electronic communications about his contact with the ECCO -- Earth Coincidence Control Office. These days we think Sean is somewhere in the Amazonian rainforest of Colombia -- we only receive contact by email as he consistently delivers the latest and best in web-design magic.

Dan Dreifort, Search Engine Optimization

Dan has a formidable marketing mind and is creative in ways that never fail to surprise us.
