 Gary ReichelI began designing in 1998. As a small business owner I started designing my business cards, newsletters, ads and brochures. In 2000 I sold my small business and began designing for Inspire Me, a scrapbook company that specialized in archiveable stickers. Later in 2000, I accepted a position at Caliber Promotions designing everything from automotive advertisement to custom logos. I also began maintaining and expanding Caliber's company website. In December 2003, I worked for Advanced Marketing as a pre-press operator and graphic designer. In my free time during the evenings and on weekends, I began providing freelance graphic design, website design and search engine optimization services to various businesses. In November of 2004 I launched Reichel Graphic Design, a company that utilizes my experience in both print and web design. Currently, under name of Reichel Graphic Design, I provide freelance graphic design, website design, search engine marketing and optimization to companies throughout the United States.Interests and Hobbies: For the first thirty years of my life I lived near an ocean. During this time I developed a love for the water and spend most of my days surfing and SCUBA diving. As I grew older I also pursued my childhood goal of learning martial arts. So at twenty-seven, I started studying American Kenpo. It took seven years, but with hard work and dedication I earned my black belt. I continued studying and teaching Kenpo for five more years when I earned a second degree black belt. As strange as it sounds I no longer live near the ocean, and I only practice Kenpo in my home. However, someday my wife and I plan to move back near an ocean where I will surf again, and perhaps I will open my own dojo? In the mean time, I 've been playing and studying guitar for the past five years. My goal is to learn finger style and flat-picking, and one day I hope to be good enough to play with a few friends. Other then learning guitar, for the past ten years most of my time is spent at my computer (an intel mac pro). I have a nice view from my studio and I find graphic design and website design a fun and creative outlet. As far as a J-O-B goes, it is a great way to spend the day if you want to make an honest living. For exercise, my wife and I go to the gym three or four days a week. I enjoy lifting weights and swimming laps. I don't lift heavy weights or swim for hours, but I do enjoy working-out for about 75 minutes. My wife and I have been happily married for 10 years. She is very supportive of my hobbies and interests --she is the love of my life. We have three incredible dogs: Molly, Sarah and Katie. They run our home and we would not have it any other way. |
