Introduction: New Media : Jared as Creative Director of New Media
The oldest of the hats I wear is that of being an employee of Case Western Reserve University. Back in 1988, when I was 16 years old I was hired by Michael Kahana (who was then a student at Case) to program for him in the Psychology Department. He taught me to program (Borland Pascal version 3.0) and to visualize projects and perform complex problem solving. Mike is a brilliant guy (he was then and from what I read he is now) and his approaches to problem solving and programming helped to shape who I am today.
As a student I worked for many departments: Psychology, Sociology, Neurology, Physics, Civil Engineering. Eventually I landed a job with a Case startup called Infantest under Dr. Fagan of the Psychology Department where I served as the Technical Director of Research and Development.
After that job ended in 1994 I was hired full time by Case to be the Instructional Technology Specialist for the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Since then I have had a wide variety of titles, offices, and supervisors. (However the blog entry entitled: My many bosses, offices, and titles is best served for a future date.)
In December of 2006 I was formally transferred from ITAC to the Kelvin Smith Library under Tom Hayes as Creative Director of New Media in the Freedman Center which is a partnership between the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kelvin Smith Library.
