Benjamin's Story
OK, so, two decades in a nutshell: Attended and met my wife at Washington University in St. Louis; graduated 1988 BFA (Painting). Waited tables for a few years in DC (ahh, Fine Arts degree), then found a computer graphics job. Married Halle Eichenbaum 1990. Moved to Cleveland (1992) just about as soon as we started pricing DC homes.
We've lived the last 16 years in University Heights, an inner suburb of Cleveland. Halle worked PR and writing gigs, I worked at a few design studios and agencies, honing my design, web and programming skills. We had two boys (Max and Julian, now ages 13 and 9); when Julian was born we were ready to start our own design and marketing studio. Halle rejoined the business several years later when Julian started school.
media schmedia LLC, 9 years...Expand for more
old, has evolved into a marketing consultancy that focuses on brand evolution. Once we've got the brand and messaging right we help our clients with logo (re)design, sales scripting, web sites, print campaigns, brochures, the whole gamut of collateral to get the message to the market.
I found the sport I love decades after most people do -- I've practiced taiji for the past decade and even competed when life and time permit.
Halle and I started a 2nd business this past year, alongside media schmedia, and we've been merrily skipping from one entertaining circumstance or minor crisis or family milestone to the next (had our first Bar Mitzvah this year -- wonderful and weird in equal measure.) Can't wait to see what the next 20 years hold in store!
