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.

Marks creative and artistic training at Rhode Island School of Design helped him develop aesthetically pleasing user interfaces and allowed him to deliver user interfaces that are not cursed by a typical programmers lack of design sense. Though Mark is multi disciplinary in his training with experience in both creative and technical, he prefered to focus on programming and supporting the creative talent of leading New Media Agencies. Mark went back to working part time independent contractor while studying for his Masters Degree of Divinity Degree after working for ten years in several New England Advertising Agencies.

Now in 2009, Mark is moving forward into the future exploring and developing communication and community utilizing his experience with web technologies and design to connect with the next generation to explore faith in God and create 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 serve our community.
