Martin Eggert

Director of Interactive Services

Definition of “overachiever”: someone who takes on an impossible task just for kicks. In other words, meet Martin.

Our director of all things Web never intended to be a programmer. He went to school for design, but got interested in computer science at Loyola University New Orleans because it was a challenge. Nice.  We suppose you would say Martin has a knack for building things. From eye-catching, functional Web sites to custom-built kitchen cabinets or even a campfire that’ll make any Boy Scout jealous.

He’s soft-spoken, laid-back and loves the moment when he can say to himself, “Wow. I built that,” regardless what he built. Along with his clients, we all tend to say that about Martin as well.

Martin’s Favorite Quote
