What we do, everyday.

The Pioneer

Rudy Diemer
CEO

Always figuring out a way to do it better!

Do you know Rudy? Well chances are you do – or you know someone who does! Rudy is the visionary and the pioneer. He started it all. If you have a project in mind he will mold it into reality. And if you just need some hockey or soccer coaching, he would be pleased to do that too. No egos with Rudy; he is really just the "guy next door."

The Boss

Thom Ellsom
Production Manager

World Class Developer

If you want order and logic you consult with Thom. He will make sense out of the messiest pile of data and then give feedback on an artistic layout. He can simultaneously use the left and right side of his brain. His IQ level is unheard of.

The Wizard

Eric Dukes
Developer

Coding Magician

When you ask Eric to do something, it works. We aren't sure how or why, but one can throw the most complicated things at Eric, and his response is always the same. "I can do that". Is there anything you can't do, Eric?

The Natural

Jason Brown
Project Manager

Projecting the Future

Meet Jason Brown. Passionate? Definitely. Talented? Undeniably. Charming? Just look at those dimples! While in high school, some students barely made it out of bed, others (well...probably just Jason), spent their time forming, directing, and growing a successful web agency. Years later, Jason the RKD project manager is still idea-filled, organized, and curiously adept with Nerf guns. If he's not helping clients get the most out of the web, then we have no idea what he's up to. Seriously, we think that's all he does.

Jason's web style: Blink tags, Blink tags, Blink tags
Guilty pleasure: Peanut butter AND jam
Interesting fact: He invented the wallet (that may not be true)
Least favourite word: Pumpernickel

The Sizzle

Kevin Gray
Designer

Artist with a mighty stylus

Some people were born at exactly the right time. Kevin is not one of them. A present day renaissance man, Kevin is a photographer, designer, writer, and pudding critic. He knows the web, he knows design, and he knows what you're going to love. Basically, if your website needs a facelift...or maybe even therapy, you're going to want Kevin around.
