Hello, I'm Scott!

Hello, I’m Scott! I am the Creative Strategist at BitMethod. I just officially joined the team on Monday, though I’ve been behind the scenes doing some copywriting and marketing stuff as a freelancer since the fall of last year. I’ve been brought on to help execute on Interactive projects and lead up some of the more “fun” internal stuff. I’m looking forward to getting to know more creative agencies in the Midwest that have clients interested in building mobile and web products.

In addition to my role with BitMethod I do a lot of cool and fun art-related projects via make\break, a thing-making, event-planning, arts-organizing something-or-other that I run with my wife.

I live in downtown Des Moines, IA. It’s an awesome little city in the middle of everything with a lot of great stuff in it and a lot of great stuff ahead of it. I’m married to an artist, which is cool already, but is made cooler by the fact that she’s a really really good artist.

I fall on the geekier side of life: video games, comics, action figures, etc. There is already a healthy (or is it unhealthy?) amount of action figures covering my desk here in the BitMethod office. I game on the PS3 and the PC, though I can certainly hold my own in Mario Kart Wii (Dry Bowser fo’ life). Favorite all time game is the Team Fortress series. Don’t make me choose between Team Fortress Classic and Team Fortress 2, because it is a false choice. They are equally awesome.

Computers and the Internet have always been a big part of my life and it’s really exciting to get a chance to actually work in the tech field. I remember fondly learning DOS commands with my dad, and even dialing into our town’s BBS and playing little text based adventure games. I never got into programming as media was always more interesting to me: blogging, video, sharing media, online games. I ended up with a journalism degree from Drake, which never felt quite right, but got me as close to what I wanted to do as I could manage. It feels like it’s all coming together now and I’m excited to see what the future will bring.

When necessary, I can grow an impressively unruly beard, amongst other talents.

When I grow up I want to be a Ghostbuster.
