Glenn is a RARE designer that blends both the design and programming worlds together. He knows how to relate to his graphic designers as both a mentor and manager. He works fast, accurately, and above all else...CREATIVELY! Judy Hackett

Having worked with him over 10+ years,
I not only saw him evolve into a dynamic designer and leader, but our products were elevated to an industry standard. Glenn’s designs, templates, and layouts are still used to this day! He sets the bar very high!
Stuart Christian

Throughout his employment, Glenn has proved time and time again, that he was a ultra-creative designer, and faster than any designer I have ever worked with. Finished projects sometimes took hours, when we expected them to take days. I highly recommend Glenn for any position. Robert Roy
