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.

• Guilty pleasure: Peanut butter AND jam
• Interesting fact: He invented the wallet (that may not be true)
• Least favourite word: Pumpernickel

Alex McIlwaine

A Jack of All Trades!

After a long search which included Morgan Freeman and Don LaFontaine we finally found the perfect candidate for our client support specialist. Alex is not "backwards in coming forwards" when it comes to taking on tasks. Whether it is a small update or putting out client fires, Alex attacks the job like no other. If you call or email our office you'll likely speak to Alex. When not in the office he can be found cheering on the Maple Leafs. He is probably their only Northern Irish fan.

• Often Caught Surfing: Neowin.net
• Sad Fact: Does not know who Conan, Leno or Letterman are
