Mark Sims

When you see one of our dazzling Web designs created by an HCK2 designer, you are only seeing part of the picture. What you don’t see is the guy behind the curtain who wrote the code to make that design work. That “wizard” is Mark.

Specializing in backend code and content management systems, Mark brings over seven years of programming and Web development to the table. Mark is also gifted at translating mega-geek technical jargon into layman’s terms for the average Web user, which allows him to communicate the needs and expectations of a client with his team.

When he’s not behind a computer, he’s in front of a crowd with his band, Miser, touring nationwide and being listed in Rolling Stone magazine. And although the ever-changing hair color might fool you, Mark is surprisingly an avid golfer with a single digit handicap.
