Management

Brandon Cotter, Founder & Chief Viewzer

Brandon has been building Internet companies since 1996 when he cofounded web services firm CreateTech. The company was purchased by Broadcast.com in 1997, and then after one of the largest IPO's in NASDAQ history, Broadcast.com was acquired by Yahoo!. Subsequent to Yahoo!, Brandon cofounded Musicforce.com, a niche-music site that in under a year went from inception, to financing ($3MM Series A), to acquisition (valued the company at over $30MM). Other recent ventures include a mobile device OS company, a hosted VOIP provider, and a number of not-for-profit endeavors. Brandon lives in Dallas with his wife and three kids. When not working he loves to wakeboard, golf, and shoot (video and photo).

There he worked with a variety of businesses to create valuable online and offline customer experiences, with a special focus on custom business applications.

Aaron Martin, Director of Design

A designer, with roughly 10 years in both online and offline media design, Aaron strives to solve problems as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Working out of Southern California, Aaron realizes that he's living a life most Minnesotans dream about while shoveling snow and eating moose jerky.

In his off time, Aaron enjoys photography, design, fine-tuning his hipster music taste, driving with no predetermined destination, most forms of art, and reading ridiculously long American History books. Occassionaly he blogs at iamaaronmartin.com.

Aaron has nothing against Minnesotans. He is well aware of the impact that Minnesotans have had on American life; including Bob Dylan, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, and Jean Paul Getty. (See, we told you he reads history books.)

Travis Isaacs, Director of Viewzer Experience

Travis brings to Viewzi a unique blend of creative and technical talents, including interaction design, visual design, and web development. He strives to completely re-imagine how people experience search results.

Travis’s passion for design has taken him to many industries, including designing shopping sites for high fashion glasses retailer ReadingGlasses.com, to most recently building industry-changing interfaces for Sabre Travel Network and Travelocity.com.

When not designing for Viewzi, Travis writes on his personal site, loves photography, and plays the drums (wondering what it would have been like to be a rock star).
