Mathew Riexinger

I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY until around 16. Since then I have lived in Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, back to Buffalo and now am currently residing in Newport Beach, California.

I love to learn because a skill and/or knowledge I can obtain can seemingly add to the value of the work I do and the others around me. Not only does it strengthen the team, but it also strengthens the individuals I have the pleasure of working with as well.

My hobby and personal passion (not to mention my profession!) is using my creative ability that was given to me to write, design, and develop awesome projects. At the very least, if I can help someone else who may need assistance with their own project, then that is also a great thing to me.

I'm looking forward to the rest of 2013 because it's another year to one up the year before in terms of achievements and goals.

As far as development goes, I've been a part of a wide variety of projects. From designing and creating digital signage software, creating MMORPG content for one of the largest game publishers on the planet, to creating social media apps like my Facebook game Fame & Fortune. I had developed Fame & Fortune back when social gaming was in it's infancy. Diving into a new up and coming industry that hasn't explored the growing pains of learning with the limited funding available for the project was one of the best learning experiences I've had.

Aside from the creative side of my profession I've been involved in a large amount of really innovative and wild SEO projects over the past eight years. I also got into the Social Media Marketing field as I was creating Fame & Fortune. Consequently Fame & Fortune's failure brought me SMM success that's still a big part of my life today.

When i'm not involved doing some type of project I spend my time with my lovely better half enjoying random activities. I may also be found chasing my Great Dane around trying to get whatever he shouldn't have gotten into, back from him.
