Gernot Kalcher, New Media Producer

Gernot is a successful entrepreneur in the online media, advertising and marketing space. Gernot is the founder and CEO of Lavalobe, a digital media production and distribution firm. As Lavalobe’s digital media specialist and computer graphics producer, he specializes in rich media productions, 3-D animation and special venue graphics for live events, multiple resolutions and various other media outlets.

In his spare time, Gernot stays active by hitting the ski slopes, playing tennis and perfecting his swing on a golf course. He can also be found at the racetrack, where he enjoys motor sports as a driver, not a spectator.

Joshua Downs, Art Director

With over 16 years experience as a graphic designer, Josh knows a thing or two about making things pretty. He has created and supervised award-winning graphics and animations for many top clients, including the Seahawks, Sonics, Starbucks and Microsoft. As an incredible concept and 3-D artist, he starts with pen and paper, and brings imagination to virtual life. Josh provides the creative team the flexibility to be innovative, yet always balances the message and the brand.

His work is busy and sometimes stressful, so Josh likes to unwind by releasing a little adrenaline. Bungee jumping, rock climbing, rappelling and navigating class 4 rapids are among his favorite activities, though they’ve taken a back seat to bottle-feeding and diaper-changing since the births of his daughter and son.

Keith Nealey, Broadcast Producer

Keith has been around the block a few times, and not just on his commuter bicycle. By doing broadcasts for ESPN, ABC, FOX, CBS and various Olympic Committees (among others) in every major U.S. venue, Keith has developed a knack for getting live graphics on the air. And, he has numerous awards to prove it. Keith combines the technical knowledge of today’s fast-paced digital and multi-resolution broadcasts with effective design and project management skills needed to turn each show into a hit.

It’s almost difficult to say what Keith does in his spare time, because there isn’t much left after traveling every week and balancing numerous responsibilities. Rumor has it, though, that he has been seen on the basketball court coaching the Seattle Blues and under the hood of his ’51 Chevy pickup.

Betty Pham, Account Director

With over ten years of experience in account and project management, supervising marketing, advertising, and branding campaigns for consumer and trade audiences. Betty has executed programs using traditional vehicles, including TV, radio, print, and direct mail; sales, in-store, and merchandising materials; and interactive media such as Web sites, online advertising, and targeted e-mail. Betty has a proven track record in developing and nurturing successful, productive relationships with clients, vendors, and sales.
