Greg Mills

President / CEO

What makes me tick?
For the most part my inspiration is born out of Chaos. When there is a need for problem solving, tight deadlines or a budget crunch, I get extremely amped up and passionate and generate my most creative ideas. In contrast, I have also learned to find inspiration in the simple moments were the stillness allows me to analyze the complexity of my ideas and then I return to the chaos once again.

Most People want a career in design were there are so many options to explore and then they hone in on one aspect of a field were they hope to succeed. I have never limited myself to one area of the creative arena.

"My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes ,but recovered from them."

"I believe in hard times, how you respond reveals your character."

What's in my iPod:
16737 songs 211:15:18:56 total play time
Whats outside of my Ipod about 10,000 CD's
( need I say more?)

What I am currently listening to: Everything!

"I don't know where Ambient is going from here, but I promise it won't be boring."

Marcia Salazar

Director of Research and Development

I am my own person, definitely. I don't think I could describe myself in words... Being a girl on the edge of all things exciting and new, rather than being satisfied with the "same old thing," My toughest battle was having the courage to leave the past behind and embrace the new. I'm not scared to fall because I know I will always get back up. The more someone tells me I can't; the more energy and confidence I develop. I believe in destiny and have a great optimistic personality; with a little bit of sarcasm. My hero's: My mother for teaching me to always walk with my head high. Albert Einstein for inventing relativity.

Marcia has taught herself to constantly develop and nurture new ideas, adventures, and creations. Her immense drive and ambitioin for research development provide her with the ability to continue learning something new everyday.

Favorite Bands: Radiohead, The Cure, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, The Stars.

Some of my favorite quotes from brilliant minds:

"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself." -Albert Einstein

"We are what our deep driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny." -From the Upanishads: Brihadaranyaka IV.5

"Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn't got money." -David Geffen

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss

"There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink." -Brian Andreas

"Brilliant, essential and addictive. The result of this ambitious venture is not only brilliant, but addictive. It interprets, it interrogates, it provokes. Each text can be a world in itself." -Publico ((Lisbon); Cover Story, Sunday Magazine
