Skwerl learned his first programming language at age ten. By that point he had become quite handy with a box of Crayolas, but it would be almost ten more years before the two skills could be used together.
Before starting high school, he already knew he wanted to be a graphic artist, so he loaded up with fine arts electives and signed up for vocational school. He started working at Victory Printing in Philadelphia within a week of graduating in 1998, and was supervising all design there one year later.
From there, Skwerl moved to web design, starting as an engineer at Waypoint Group in Wilmington in 2000. His well-rounded arsenal and ability to use both halves of his brain quickly turned a six week contract into a steady gig, as he bounced between development on Fila’s online storefront to design for Mercedes-Benz and DuPont.
After some more school, Skwerl picked up an XML development contact with SAP in 2002, and moved to California upon completion. He took a job as a graphic designer with Universal Music & Video Distribution in 2004, and in 2005 left to join a development team shared by Atomic Online and Gorilla Nation. There he remains employed, as one of the most respected designers and developers. Started own company in February 2009. Note to self: Update / clean this up 
Through it all, Skwerl has consistently built and maintained a number of successful personal projects, the most notable recent one being the music website Antiquiet, which has been mentioned on several occasions by TIME Magazine, Wired Magazine, and Rolling Stone Magazine. Antiquiet primarily conducts candid interviews with world-renowned artists, and is closely watched by the music industry as well as thousands of music fans daily.
Skwerl has a long history of going above and beyond simply getting the job done. He’s never been satisfied with ’success’ as defined by the majority, basing his goals instead on his own inspirations and daring imagination. He firmly believes that the only way to keep up with such fast moving industries as marketing and technology… Is to be in the driver’s seat.
