Our business isn't all fun and games. Except it's pretty fun. And sometimes we play games.

Shawn Dryden, Director of Web Development

Shawn Dryden

Mr. Dryden is an Internet addict, a knife collector, and apt to scream like a girl in the presence of spiders. Clients applaud his web mastery and design smarts. He gets a kick out of fruit snacks, PB&J sandwiches, and mass quantities of cheese.

His philosophy on life is that “anything goes with gravy and syrup.” As a small child, he dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for Halloween one year, complete with green tights. He maintains that this was a good choice.

He once fell out of a golf cart…and was subsequently run over by it. His entertainment programming includes films such as “Shawshank Redemption,” “Seven,” and “Braveheart,” as well as an occasional episode of “Project Runway.” If he could choose any superpower, it would be the ability to punch someone via the Internet.
