What is a former Marine officer doing running a creative agency? We're not quite sure but he does know his stuff. We guessing it's because he grew up around computers, is part geek and is strong willed. Perfect for the industry!
Jim is a graduate of St. Mary's college where he played Division I baseball for the Gaels. After serving his country, Jim made his way to the Silicon Valley where he worked at Hewlett Packard and later a startup company called GetThere. When this start-up was bought out this afforded Jim the opportunity to start his own company. And here we are 12 years later.
We often remind him that he's sprouted some grey hairs due to his work, but he does enjoy it very much and is entirely devoted to his clients. And above all, performance. When not at his desk solving the latest marketing challenge, he'll either be working out, practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or hanging out with his little ones.

Jim was so impressed with Dash's design skills that in 2003 he flew from California to Texas (and back) for a 1 hour meeting in Houston International Airport. Dash is a legend in the design industry. He has 12 FWA awards under his belt where most designers aspire to win just one. Talented, intelligent and incredibly fast with his work he is an amazing artist and Jivaldi is proud to have him aboard as a team member. Having recently moved to California, Jim has to pay up on a few dinners and jack-and-cokes.
What can we say? Luis is a rock star web developer who can pretty much do anything (short of replicating himself). Luis has been with Jivaldi for over 5 years and has been a key component into delivering projects that make clients happy. Clients love him, and love him even more when they compare him to other developers. Luis is finding that his role at Jivaldi is evolving past development into strategy and management.
Luis also is a unique breed of developers that has both a creative side and engineering side. This rare ability allows him to look beyond the code and come up with solutions long before anyone else sees the problem. Additionally, with 10 years experience working in the Internet marketing space he also has a very good feel for usability and user behavior patterns. MVP!
With a Masters degree in marketing from "The" Ohio State University, Pam brings a lot of experience to the table. A former Director for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society's 'Team in Training' program she's creative, intelligent, wears many hats and is the first to put Jim in his place.
When Pam is not tackling different projects you'll probably find her running, working out or spending time with her 3 beautiful children. Always comfortable in front of a good book, she's addicted to technology and has a good eye for design and a valuable asset to the team. Oh and did we mention that she puts Jim in his place when he is out of line? Go Pam!

With an engineering background, an MBA and a business consulting background, Al plays a unique role at Jivaldi. The relationship started when Al took some time to evaluate Jivaldi, the business model and the services that Jivaldi was providing to its clients. Al's suggestions led to more efficiency, better services and new clients. Not bad for a few suggestions!
Al is called upon, like many small marketing and advertising agencies are required to do, to take on different roles. When he isn't helping to strategize and build the business Al has also immersed himself in analytics and finding ways to increase the performance of Jivaldi's advertising and media buying services.

Shara is a force to be reckoned with. Though new to the marketing and advertising industry, Shara brings 15 years of management and sales experience to the table and has settled into a business development role at Jivaldi. Shara has no fear yet she is professional and driven. Always looking for ways to improve her skill sets and knowledge, Shara has carved out her own niche at Jivaldi and we're glad to have her.
