ProComm evolved from a small group of creative pals in the Denver area who just didn't get along with their employers in the nine-to-five world. We all broke out into the freelance world in our respective areas of expertise, and discovered we could work together without bickering!

Tanya Haynes - Art Director, Head Honcho
Tanya runs ProComm, pure and simple. You cross her and you're back on the payroll at 7-11.

Tanya makes her living in graphic and fine arts (visit her web site and see some of her incredible watercolor paintings), but she's turned into a major computer geek since we started designing web sites. She graduated suma cum picasso from the Colorado Institute of Art back in 19-something-or-other, and she has a portfolio that has to be stored in a warehouse.

When vacation time rolls around, Tanya loves to deep-sea dive and hang out with the fishes. When you check out her fine arts web site, you'll see where she finds her subjects.

Diana Reed- Technical Designer/Database Queen
Diana keeps everything in nice, organized lists for us. In the web design biz, her job is more important than the light bulb replacer at Times Square. Diana is one of those rare people who actually understands database software, so we really have to suck up to her. Just around the time everything around ProComm is about to go blooie, Diana steps in, punches a few buttons, and keeps us out of the unemployment line.

Angela Olson- Web Developer/Technical Writer
Angela is our ultimate computer guru. She has never yet encountered a code she couldn't crack. She's so good that she doesn't even speak in English anymore; she just carries on conversations in acronyms. It can be pretty intimidating when she gets irritated with us, but when it comes to turning our designs into functional sites, she's the best.

Angela is another cyber geek who doesn't fit the stereotype (she has a personality). She recently made an honest man out of her new hubby, Ian, and we wish them all the best!

Mark Paul - Sign Consultant
Mark keeps us in the black and says "NO" when we start getting crazy with the computer catalogues. He's more than just a right-brainer, though, because he's also the Main Dude of
Pro Signs, our sister company. Mark is the guy we go to after we come up with a design package. After he first gives us "that look," he shakes his head and turns our wacky ideas into some killer signs.

Mark started out in the oil business something-something years ago, and when that endeavor literally went dry, he decided to get into something a tad more stable. He ventured into sign design about fifteen years ago, and started Pro Signs in 1990.

When the job isn't keeping him up at night, he can be found checking out a NASCAR race or planning the next vacation where Tanya can jump in the sea.

Did we mention they're married?


Kevin Cahill - Copy Writer/Editor
Kevin is the true Colorado Native resident at ProComm, although Mark and Tanya have lived here long enough to claim right to the title, too. Kevin tries to keep our spelling in check, and he corrects our grammar to point of extreme irritation. He doubles as our resident writer and sign production guy over at Pro Signs (ie - he doesn't really have a job, as far as the IRS knows.)

Kev took his Journalism degree from Northern Colorado and chucked it when he realized how much he hated the media. Instead, he put his writing skills to task and not only writes copy for us, but has written four novels and a screenplay. The work has really kept him out of the bars the last few years.

All that, and he can knock out some pretty hot James Taylor and Eric Clapton riffs on the guitar, too. Check out Kevin's web page.


Bill Hunt - Photographer
Bill beams his work into us from Phoenix, where he and his wife, Linda, live with Bill's massive computer system. This guy is really not to be believed, actually. Not only is he an incredible photographer, he actually knows how to use Photoshop! We don't even bother to call Adobe anymore when we have a problem; they just refer us to Bill anyway.

Bill adds a healthy dose of southern New Orleans charm to ProComm, and there is probably not another person on the planet with a more extensive knowledge of fine wine than our shutter guy. If for nothing else, we like to keep him around for parties.

Brian Rutherford - Environmental/Industrial Designer
Brian came down here from the Idaho woods after trying to kill himself as a forest firefighter for a few years. We cleaned him up and cleared his lungs out, discovering he had a heck of an eye for design. Brian just graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art, and he specializes in damn near everything that's really cool.

We put him to work on our more technical projects that require 3-D renderings and design, and he figures out ways to install a display that won't fall down and land us in personal injury court. He's also good on a ladder, and since he came aboard none of our signs catch fire anymore.

Brian and his wife, Becky, just brought a pretty little girl into the fold last May, so the distinct odor of baby formula has been dogging him lately…
