The Web Guys
Through the talents of people like Mark, Josh, and others who provide contract labor to our firm, Chimera Communications can provide full-service web development and internet marketing to our clients. These guys don't belong on payroll because they work really weird hours and are, you know, "techy." We want them to be free-spirits, free-thinkers, and people who spend ridiculous amounts of time on their computers. Our outside resources are extremely responsive to us and we consider them part of our family, even if they eat at the kid's table.
Mark Reitz, WebRankOne
Mark is a graduate of Platt College in San Diego, CA where he studied print, web and multimedia design. Mark has been creating websites since 2001. While design was his initial focus, search engine optimization, usability, email marketing, web analytics and pay per click marketing soon were added to the necessary bag of tricks. Mark continues to improve his skill-set by finding new challenges in each project and staying up to date on things web 2.0. He's Mr. Web and without him we wouldn't even be in the web business. Once you see how it's really supposed to be done, there is no turning back...and Mark knows how it's really supposed to be done.
Mark loves the outdoors and wonders how he ended up behind a computer :) He enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing and a little mixed martial arts for good measure.

We work closely with Josh on programming our online research mechanisms which we’ve referenced in the research section of this response. Whenever we meet with Josh, we create what we refer to as “you could lists.” Because he is full of amazing ideas on things “you could do” on the internet — from social media ideas, fun programming twists, apps, etc.
