G. Scott Taulbee

I’m a creative designer with a wealth of real-life business experience under my belt. I initially started working on SGML, the predecessor to HTML and have been active in design, development, management and analysis of Internet and multimedia projects for more than 18 years.

I am looking to solve interesting problems and overcome puzzling obstacles. I'm a creative and dynamic team member with tons of energy and a positive attitude.
