My work just posted an blogpost highlighting me as an employee. Here is the text. You can find the original post written by Lauren and Jennifer here.
Employee Spotlight: Mike C
LIME employees dedicate several hours a week honing their marketing ingenuity devising innovative apps, managing projects, creating designs, crafting effective advertising, and numerous other services. Today, we spotlight an employee who models the work and success of our company. Mike C, an employee since 2007, adds a myriad of talents, skills and insights to our marketing team as a graphic designer and project manager. I had the opportunity to chat with Mike, getting to know a bit about his background.
Mike’s Faves:
Mac computers; he actually collects older Apple computers
- Computer-related projects
- The 1948 Tucker Torpedo and the 1981 Delorean DMC-12 (cars, for those of us not in the know)
- Family and watching movies with the fam
- Awesome work projects (of course)
Originally from California where his childhood was filled with legos, computers and lots of Disneyland, Mike has great memories of growing up, many involving his father: “One summer, we built arcade cabinets as well as electronics for classic games like Pac Man and Arkanoid. Each kid in our family now has one in their home. It’s a nice memento of those special times tinkering in the garage.” From those garage days of innovation, Mike went on to graduate from Brigham Young University with an undergrad in engineering.
I also asked Mike why he chose the field of marketing as a career and he responded, “I didn’t decide, it just sort of happened.” His favorite part about working for LIME is the versatility and diversity in the skill sets of employees as well as the projects we do here. Mike hopes to expand his knowledge and skills in graphic design as well as other aspects of marketing and management.
Curious as to what his opinions were, I asked what Mike thought about the development of iPad, iPhone and various other platforms for mobile technology. He responded, “As much as I love computing, mobile technology almost scares me as I have seen it infiltrate my life and take up time that would otherwise be free. It’s amazing to have the power of these devices in my hand, and access to the world’s knowledge at all times, but part of me kind of longs for the simpler days when connectivity wasn’t so prominent. On the flip side they are a blast to work with and give us more power in our hands then we have ever had before!”
Currently, Mike is working on medical applications for Orca MD™ specifically planning, layout and graphical aspects of the Orca “Decide” apps. One of his favorite projects was the first SpineDecide™ app. “We were treading new territory…I got a lot of photography experience. It was a great app and has taken things to a whole new level!”
Along with these numerous projects, Michael enjoys the many memories from LIME. His favorite was from this last Christmas party when Wes almost slammed 3-D artist Dan’s head into a wall in an ice skating race.
Needless to say, this will forever stick with Mike and the LIME marketing team.
We are grateful for Mike and his contributions to our marketing team. Don’t stop being awesome!
