Jeff Hunter, Webmaster for D&D came out of Endicott College in 2001 holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communications. After graduation Jeff quickly began pounding the pavement of Boston and its suburbs for a graphic design job opportunity. However, due to the abundance of unemployed designers with years of experience that had fallen victim to the Web 1.0 bubble burst and the plethora of eager graduates also out searching he settled for a sales position at one of Apple’s retail stores to pay the bills as life in the “real world” began.
While quickly learning everything he could about Apple, Jeff began teaching himself back-end web development and database management. This led to front end design and dynamic web based applications. Language after language was added to the arsenal and his skills became vast. Jeff’s portfolio includes a number of websites, blogs, shopping carts, small social networks, Facebook applications, computer based training programs, mobile apps, and native iPhone and iPad Apps.
Jeff became a key cog at D&D Marketing several years back when asked to work on a couple of different sites for their clients. Since day one, the partners of D&D and I have worked hand in hand on many successful projects and have started a company together, LTA Software Partners.
Currently, Jeff lives, breathes, and dreams writing code and consider himself lucky to work in a field that is truly more like a hobby. When he finally pulls himself out of a desk chair, he usually falls into a bar stool at a favorite watering hole, enjoying a pint, watching the game, and hopefully caught up in a good conversation which will lead to that next big project or idea.
