About Colebank.communications

Mark has had a long facination with computers and in the 90's saw the coming wave of change they would bring. So when the Internet began to dawn in the public consiousness in 1996, Mark quit his job and bought a book on HTML. Armed with that and a PowerMac 6100 he began freelancing and learning how to develop web sites. Back in the day of Netscape 3.0 browsers and 28.8 modems, things were simple by todays standards when web design consisted of hand coded HTML, Photoshop produced jpegs and gifs, CGI forms, and a splash of javascript and Flash.

In those early days he worked with Newfangled Graphics and RTP as the dot com bubble swelled on projects for companies like AT Cross and REMINC. In 2000, Mark made the jump to Windows and bought his first PC. At the same time Mediaweave, a fast growing new media company with clients like Sony, Wal-Mart, Folgers Coffee, San Diego Chargers and Harley-Davidson, recruited him to work as a web developer on corporate web sites such as Sony Chemicals and Flexcon. Over the next five years Mark gained significant experience working on large database driven intranets and extranets using Microsoft Active Server Pages and SQL Server. In recent years he has worked on projects using the latest technologies for AAi Foster Grant utilizing CSS standards compliant XHTML design and Lupus International using C# to program web applications.

Now in 2006, Mark is moving forward into the future exploring and developing communication, community, and commerce utilizing a multi disciplinary approach of the latest web technologies in programming, his industrial design user interface creative training, and his faith based insight of what enhances healthy community. It is Marks belief that sucessful relationships are based on trust and a commitment to do what is best for all involved as they partner to build business and personal ventures that serve our global community.
