Steve Grothmann
Project Manager
As a project manager at Newfangled, I manage new site projects, upgrades and support for a great group of clients. I enjoy prototyping new sites and focusing clients' needs down to the simplest possible realization on a site, since I firmly believe that a clear-headed user experience is fundamental to all higher level site functions.
Before joining Newfangled in May 2008 I taught composition at North Carolina State University, worked at the Town of Cary, NC's Cultural Arts Division and was a stay-at-home dad. I have been a semiprofessional musician for many years. I grew up in Tampa, FL (I miss a good Cuban sandwich) and graduated from Florida State University (BA) and NCSU (MA in English). I have an incredibly dynamic, artistic, creative, sensitive, smart family.
