He is a perfectly balanced mixture of Yin & Yang, and has a fine-tuned eye for great design and storytelling. He is a lover of coffee, cigars, good books, and anything that is not sports related, and his soothing voice has earned him the honor of being our very own Morgan Freeman. In fact, many clients call just to hear his voice.

Account Owner

Video Production Specialist & Special Project Social Media Manager

Jonathan has been with us from the start and knows a little bit about every aspect of the business.

Maureen was born and raised in Kentucky and has more cousins than we can count on all our hands combined. She’s a wife and mother of three (four if you count her huge fur baby, Eliot, an Old English Mastiff), so organization and efficiency are part of her DNA.
