Let’s give a warm welcome to our newest team members and learn a bit more about them:

When asked what he is looking forward to, Ryan stated, “I am looking forward to learning about web design, graphics, how to successfully market a business, and additional information that will help me grow, develop, and become a more well-rounded individual.” Ryan is surely a go-getter who likes to stay active, travel, and loves to try just about anything and everything when it comes to food! 


Evan Reakes is a second year student at Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) studying Web Development. When learning more about Evan, he expressed, “My past has mostly involved blue collar jobs such as a cook, landscaper, warehouse worker, and oil delivery. I intend to transfer my work ethic into the white collar work force, starting with my internship at CoalCreative.” In addition to his passion for coding, Evan also loves space travel, environmental science, competitive video gaming, and education!

She has an incredible list of skills making us very excited to bring her onto the team. When talking about her interests, Emily expressed, “ I also love to incorporate my fine art skills into anything I can whether it be adding elements of painting, drawing, or digital art.” This avid tattoo collector and hair-dye enthusiast is without a doubt an artist in many forms at heart!
