Ron Amick is a creature with two heads \u2013 he can write code and content, edit film and ad copy, and speak both digital and analog. With an engineer father and painter mother, Ron Amick always had an affinity for both technology and art. His misspent youth was dedicated to making short films which, through no fault of his own, landed him at USC film school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After stints working as a producer and editor at several studios and post-production houses, he landed at Disney New Technology and New Media, which ignited a love for web development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving from entertainment to tech was less of a pivot than a way to combine his interest in computers with his passion for storytelling. Since then Ron has learned (and forgotten) more software than is reasonable (Flash, anyone?) and worked with many creative agencies, tech companies, and entertainment clients to create websites, mobile apps, games, books, ecommerce stores and more. \u201cIt\u2019s hard being both a geek and a nerd,\u201d says Ron, \u201cbut who are you if you don\u2019t even try?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
