more? “Really? Well ok, here goes.”

I grew up in beautiful Epping, New Hampshire in the 250-year-old Colonial house in which I was born. I am the youngest of 5 kids (3B/2G). My father, Dr. Jeffrey Myers is a Chiropractor in Exeter, NH while my mother, Cindy spend 30 years caring for us at home while keeping the books straight at the office. I attended a small Catholic School on an island in Portsmouth, NH with a class of 8 children through the seventh grade before switching to Berwick Academy in South Berwick, ME. There, I enjoyed cross country running, ice hockey and baseball. I excelled in art and english and exploring theater, music and a load of extracurricular activities including community service and student government. As a senior, I was voted Student Body President.

As a freshman at Northeastern University I discovered computers. I entered school as a baggy-pants-clad skate punk with only a loose vision of drawing or sculpting my way to something like fame. But an obscure opportunity landed in my lap to design T-shirts and other merchandise using graphical computer programs. Several hundred borrowed sleep hours later, I became somewhat obsessed with design. By the time my first CoOp (paid internship) came around I had a slight advantage. I joined an on-campus technology center, where I discovered HTML and the subtle joys of graphical interface design. I took that with me through my foundation classes and developed a lucrative series of freelance projects. My next CoOp was a huge break, working at Mindseye, Inc., a leading interactive firm in Boston's Fort Point Artist District at the height of the Dot-com era. A year of walking among interactive Goliaths, and a few more years of academic foundation work was enough to lead me into a 4-year position as the lead interactive designer at Benes Brand Imaging, where I forged personal and professional relationships I still hold dear.

As my schooling ended, I signed full-time with Benes Brand Imaging for good money and lived well in Boston, visiting my [then] girlfriend Sarah in Maine on weekends and developing a new bond with the outdoors and the non-competitive sport of skiing. Those two love affairs would eventually have me re-evaluate my lifestyle. When Benes eventually sank into the mire of small, poorly-run agencies, Sarah and I decided to take advantage of our new-found mobility and pursue our our ambitions in a place that better suited our active lifestyle. With 3 months left before our wedding, we packed up and moved to Utah, where we had so many beautiful memories from our cross-country travels.

We now live in gorgeous rural Heber City, Utah with our 2-year-old son Charlie, our Siberian Huskey, Roxie and our Weimaraner, Blü. Sarah is the Marketing Manager at the beautiful Stein Eriksen Lodge at Deer Valley. I currently work independently, designing websites for the ski, action sports, and hospitality industries. It's a place I never thought I'd be, but I love my life and I look forward to new and exciting adventures ahead.
