Our People

Andrew is a Google Adwords Qualified Individual as well as a Microsoft Advertising Accredited Professional and instruments and tests our web analytics implementations to make sure we're receiving the right data in a useful format. For any data we can't get with a standard implementation, he creates advanced tracking to suit the client's needs. Recently, he created tracking centered on social media and downstream interaction. He also helps out with web and newsletter design as needed.

Andrew graduated from Seattle University with a BA in Philosophy. Before Catalysis, he gained an appreciation for accurate analytics when he spent a couple of years designing and executing search marketing campaigns at a small business.

When he's not at Catalysis, he can be found training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, enjoying local music, hiking, or playing his guitar, bass, or piano. He also enjoys being a nerd and frequently games or codes away the ever pleasant weather of the northwest.

Ben focuses on the front end development of client websites and emails, and ensures products are measured for quality before the client ever sees them. He's a dev and QA sponge who enjoys learning new and current technologies.

Prior to Catalysis, Ben worked in Enterprise Technical Support at Starbucks headquarters. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in Business Administration with a focus on Finance.

When not at Catalysis, Ben can be found at the Seattle Chess Club or at the Comedy Underground in downtown Seattle during open mic night. His favorite comedians include Lewis Black and John Pinette.

As an interactive producer at Catalysis, David assists the project managers with project implementation and management, with a specific focus on business analysis and coordination of documentation and design efforts between the project management and development teams.

Prior to joining Catalysis, David held a number of different jobs, including math teacher, construction worker, investment professional, and part-time ski instructor. He attended graduate school at Iowa State University and was on the fast track to becoming a mathematics professor until he discovered the Northwest and decided to move to Seattle. He still roots for the Iowa State Cyclones, even though that is often a disappointing proposition.

When not at work, David is usually roaming around in the Cascade mountains hiking, skiing, climbing, or doing something else that involves getting muddy.

Doug has overseen the evolution of Catalysis since its inception in 1992. He strives to perfect a collaborative methodology which joins client requirements, customer needs, technology, and art to deliver successful marketing programs. He is naturally geeked about the latest interactive marketing possibilities, while respectful of the garbage pile of failed "hot new things" when deciding on an approach for new projects.

Prior to Catalysis, Doug's previous jobs included work on both sides of the federal policy system at NPR's All Things Considered and the US House of Representatives. He has his BA from Williams College.

When not at Catalysis, Doug can be found realizing the benefits of open adoption with his three kids. You can usually find him cooking with his family, clearing his mind of all things work-related. Recent successes include: dulce de leche, pasta, sourdough bread, and the tastiest ice cream ever made — no marketing required.

As a senior developer, Eric handles a bit of everything in the software development lifecycle, from technical design to execution. In his five years at Catalysis, he has overseen the development and rollout of key internal systems as well as major client campaigns, along with a myriad of research and development aimed at providing more capability in our client offerings.

Before coming to Catalysis, Eric worked as an analytical chemist, microbiologist, and eventually as a programmer working on projects ranging from websites to financial management applications to telecom back office software and digital puppetry systems. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from Central Washington University and knows more about parasites than you might care to learn.

Outside of work he spends as much time outdoors with his family as he can, and when not doing that spends it indoors building things — none of which are robot armies bent on taking over the world, so you can rest easy.

Every office needs someone who can wear any number of hats — that's our Judy! She coordinates monthly forecasting and billing between the finance and client-facing teams, edits documents and sites, assists with administrative responsibilities, and even helps out with human resource functions. Not to mention the many other one-off challenges that come her way.

After earning a BA in Recreation from the University of Utah and BFA in Ballet from Cornish College of the Arts, Judy spent 20 years making her mark as a sales representative for electronic component manufacturers. By also having been manager and buyer for a gift shop, she has experience in all aspects of the sales and marketing game.

When not in the office, she's a fiercely competitive dragon boat racer, enjoys hitting the open road on her ruby red BMW R1100R motorcycle, and fundraising on behalf of non-profits Team Survivor Northwest and the Order of the Eastern Star.

As a program services manager, Matt is responsible for the overall project lifecycle of Catalysis' project engagements. With over 14 years of experience in the integrated digital marketing and technology services industry, Matt's role is to provide strategic planning and insight for our clients' marketing programs, articulate solutions, and turn ideas into executable projects.

Matt attended Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, and Manchester College, Oxford University, in Oxford, England. Prior to joining Catalysis, he was a national account manager for ISNM, a Toronto-based elearning/edetailing development firm. His areas of interests include relationship marketing strategy and execution, programmatic and community marketing strategy, and instructional systems design.

Matt's other interests include kayaking, ornithology, photography, and teaching his two young sons how to catch bluefish on the Nantucket sound.

Matthew's passion is using data to predict human behavior, creating those reactions that increase profitability and solidify relationships. His mantra is "No Problem too Small, No Solution too Large."

Matthew accrued his 25 years of marketing analytics experience while at IBM, GE, and UniFocus. Using psychometric methods learned while earning his Ph.D. at UCLA, he has spent his career driving data and analyses to understand what motivates people.

Matthew delves deeply into any challenge and is a bit adventurous. He accidently froze himself to a glacier while camping in Alaska and has gotten lost across much of Asia. His calm demeanor amidst the demands of an ever changing environment is consistent with 40 years practicing the Zen of pottery; he strives to throw pieces so consistent with the earth that if placed on the ground, they disappear.

Nancy makes sure that we have the right talent for today's work as well as tomorrow's vision. She's the caretaker of the bottom line, champion of process improvement, efficiency and quality, and an evangelist for client service excellence. She also happens to be our privacy officer.

Prior to Catalysis, Nancy spent ten years with Deloitte, where she learned the art of managing a professional services firm. She holds a BBA in Marketing from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Washington. Most recently Nancy obtained her Certified Information Privacy Professional accreditation from the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

Nancy and her husband have a houseful of kids, so these days her "outside activities" include math tutoring, spending entire weekends at swim meets, chauffeuring and doing laundry. Occasionally she finds time to spend an hour or two in her vegetable garden or cooking something other than macaroni and cheese for dinner. She's also a college football fan, but that hasn't been working out so well for her lately.

As an Interactive Producer, Pat assists the Catalysis project managers with the implementation and execution of high profile digital marketing campaigns.

Prior to his employment at Catalysis, Pat worked as a Web Producer for two prominent Seattle radio stations, KUBE 93 and 106.1 KISS FM Seattle. During this time, Pat developed a variety of skills including content production, blogging, copywriting, coding, and social media marketing. Pat received his post-secondary education at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he earned bachelor degrees in both Economics and Political Science.

Aside from his "normal" life at Catalysis, Pat can be found DJing at local night clubs, looking for pick-up games of basketball, or frequenting local coffee shops and record stores. He also enjoys blogging, watching sports, reading up on the latest technology trends, and figuring out ways to take over the world.

As a marketing program manager, Rob is focused on delivering high impact marketing campaigns on time and under budget. He is driven to exceed client expectations by understanding their needs and working with internal resources to make those a reality.

Prior to Catalysis, Rob spent four-plus years working with various teams within the US subsidiary of Microsoft as a marketing consultant/manager. He holds a BBA in Economics from West Texas A&M University and an MBA from Portland State University.

Away from Catalysis, you can find Rob looking for any excuse to enjoy the outdoors — longboarding, kayaking, hiking, hitting up a baseball game, or just heading to the beach with his wife to take their not-so-little pup for a stroll. He has also been known to fervently cheer on his hometown hockey team, even though they are in the midst of a 40-year long Stanley Cup drought.

As a Marketing Analyst at Catalysis, Trevor focuses on bridging the gap between raw data and actionable business intelligence. This is done by working with the project managers and the analytics team to understand our customer’s analytic needs and then translate those needs into ideas to create innovative and effective solutions.

A graduate of Gonzaga University, Trevor earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and International Business. Before joining Catalysis, he worked as an Analyst at a pest control company where he was responsible for streamlining processes and building up and automating their reporting systems.

Outside of work Trevor enjoys playing soccer and supporting the Sounders. He can be found enjoying the outdoors in the northwest when snowboarding and hiking. The inner nerd in him comes out when playing video games and reading.

As a quality assurance specialist for Catalysis, Yuehua is responsible for designing and creating test plans, test strategies, test cases, and reporting metrics for new features, and for developing test methodologies for automation, performance, and stress testing. He works closely with the development team and project managers to enhance software quality, fix bugs, and review the source code before a new code release.

Prior to Catalysis, Yuehua spent over 10 years in software development supporting web-based and wireless-based software businesses. He holds a M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Montana.

When not working, Yuehua enjoys spending time with his family and friends both indoors and outdoors. He is especially interested in the study of tea culture.

The brothers are the Church's guard dogs. Recruited originally from a Shaolin temple in the Henan Province of China, their favorite Zen Buddhist activities are sleeping and begging for food. They visit the office regularly where they sit with utmost stillness.

They can often be seen on walks along Madison and sleeping in the back of the car on trips down to Grand Dad's house, where they ferociously chase butterflies and sit contemplating sunsets and which bush to visit next.
