About

Fred Chong Rutherford

I work in the interactive net web computers spacetime, I live in brooklyn and my family runs an amusement park in washington state.

I’ve been working in the interactive net web computers spacetime (aka Digital Media Industry) since 1998, first as a freelancer in Seattle. I’ve lived in New York City since 2004.

My resume notes that I have, “10+ years of experience leading digital media projects for companies across diverse industries,” and that I’m an, “Expert in the technical, conceptual and content development of sales-driving collateral.” Both of which are the things I think I bring to projects I work on, along with a healthy dose of passion.
