My Experience
I started with Bastian at the dawn of the multimedia age in 1996. Upon graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelors Degree in Technical Graphics I quickly became a "Jack of all Trades and Master of None", blending different forms of media together into illustrations and presentations. I draw on the skills of the computer programmer and the visual artist to integrate graphics, text, audio and video with interactivity. In 1996 it was only myself, but today I truly enjoy developing and creating as a part of a team.- and the challenge of understanding the differing needs and backgrounds of colleagues and clients. As the marketing team grows, I have been able to specialize in a couple areas in the multimedia arena. I think I am most known for working closely with sales and engineering to develop the illustrations and animations of Bastian's integrated material handling systems. When not in the land of 3D I am at the helm sailing on audio waves matching them up to some custom material handling video.
Working at Bastian
I enjoy those that I have the privilege to work with and the thought that there will always be new personalities to meet, work with and learn from.
Why do customers come back to me?
My job description probably says it best...I continue to provide an avenue as a player/coach supporting the sales and marketing effort to help the customer in understanding what their needs are and how BMH can meet those needs through visual and interactive displays via graphics and/or multimedia presentations.
A little bit about myself
I have been happily married since 1996. I currently enjoy spending time with my family which has now grown to include 3 children. When time permits I enjoy anything to do with soccer, be it playing, coaching or watching. Anytime that is left I like to be in the throws of home improvement inside and out.

Project work I am most proud of
I am never bored as the nature of the job is about variety. Final delivery of artwork or a project can be in any form; the Internet/Intranet, part of a commercial or story told via video, a presentation for a few people or for many, for commercial or educational use or for entertainment. Because the use of multimedia in all its forms is always new and changing nothing is set in stone. Thus the horizon will always be in the distance. I most enjoy multimedia in that there is always the need to be adaptable, the need to cope with constant change, the need to learn new things quickly, the need to always stay client-focused and the need to generate the creative connections between the idea and final presentation.
