Gerry is a designer, multimedia artist and technologist living in Dayton, Ohio. He broke ground with mixed-media storytelling in the early days of the web, anticipating the rise of blogs, photo sharing and social media with a personal multimedia journal that ran for over a decade. As the web matured, he went on to explore applications for geographically-dispersed workgroups, online learning, and the emerging transition to digital books. Today, he continues to trek through technology’s ragged edges, seeking the useful or the fun and applying them to wide-ranging challenges in design and creativity. In his off hours, Gerry is a photographer and explorer, busy traveling the world with his wife, Karina, and their scruffy pup, Giles.
