ROKSMedia was formed in 2003 as a Website to demonstrate design and programming projects I had been working on at the time. In March 2008 I incorporated the business that now focuses on consulting large and small companies on producing quality UI Experiences and RIA development.
Where I have Been and What I Did
I was a programmer and video editor for the GVOX Guitar Interface and educational software which have won awards and the core technology we developed is world-class. We used Lingo and Director for the UI Creation.

This system was revolutionary as it provided a way for guitarist to transcribe directly from their instrument to the computer. We also created learning software to accompany, “Riffs” and “Chords” & various titles highlighting specific artists in the Sony catalog such as "Beatles", "Police", "BB King" and "James Taylor".
Fender Musical Instruments endorsed the Gvox Guitar system and began to distribute. Fender even made special screws for mounting the Gvox system that was standard on all Fender guitars.

I was also lead developer for Entertainment Systems Technology developing the FunPad. The free-to-use device is a cross between a wireless public-access kiosk, a restaurant menu and a toy for future Jackson Pollocks who look at a restaurant table and see a canvas.
It features a 8-inch touch-navigation screen and rubberized hand grips that vibrate for heightened affect. It also has two high-fidelity speakers, a joystick and game buttons, a video/still camera, a monochrome printer and--most importantly--a credit card reader for online purchases.
I have created Interactive CD-ROM titles for Yamaha creating the product configurator - the "Build Your Own" Royal Star CD-ROM and was one of the first programmers to introduce Flash content to the
www.yamaha-motor.com Website.
I was the founding member of "Icon Media Inc." catering to the Automotive After-Market Industry creating various printed collateral and marketing pieces. Using only the finest lithographers in the business.
I worked for Atomic Curve/BrandDoozie as Flash Developer, Senior Programmer and then advancing to Vice President of New Technologies. I developed several RIA's, widgets and specialized in UI Experience design & programming, custom component development, on-demand publishing solutions, CMS, brand management and automating graphic production work flows. Featured projects were
