Mike Ibach

Interactive Art Director

Joined the agency in June 1999

Background:

Always a good-ol Wisconsin boy, Mike grew up in Milwaukee. His parents and his younger sister, Sarah, still live there. Still talks about what we have there. A hard-core Packers fan.

Education:

Mike started as an Engineering major at University of Wisconsin, Madison. After bombing a major calc. test, he decided to go into graphic design instead.

Extra-curriculars:

Marched with the 300 member marching band all four years of college playing the marching French horn in the fall, and the concert French horn in the spring. "It was a rush to play for 77,000 people every Saturday." He vaguely thinks about picking up his horn again. Now he keeps busy with racquetball, long-distance bicycling, hiking and cooking.

Quick family note:

Mike is flattered that Sarah is enrolling as an engineering major and joining the marching band.

The visual thing:

Got into web design in 1994 when the UW med school needed web pages and Mike was looking for a job. He was hired by a Brainard firm right out of school, but didn't realize 'till the interview that Brainard wasn't a Minneapolis suburb. He won some awards, and he's planning to win more.

Another visual thing:

Photography of any sort. Recently he's done some experimental photography, including a seamless, time-lapse, panoramic piece taken in Duluth, Minnesota.

Secret life ambition:

To own and operate a drive-in movie theater. Ask him anything about the business - Mike's done his research.

Speaking of driving:

A 1972, orange Beetle convertible was the first car he owned. And he still has it. Now he drives a new red one.

Feel free to send Mike some mail.
