Green.com

Green.com was built to be a unique online virtual world and social networking site where kids safely gather, learn, and interact with each other. With the help of Green's partners, Green.com teaches children and tweens the importance of protecting our environment in fun and engaging ways.

This virtual world includes beautiful landscapes, rich avatar interactions, multiplayer games & missions, live chat and messaging, synced physics, content management systems, and the list goes on. Many involved with Green.com have helped build well-known products and companies such as: The Muppets, Citysearch, Ask.com, Match.com, and Earl Weaver Baseball.

Justin brought more to the table than what was asked of him. He constantly looked for ways to improve delivery on our expectations, working as an integral member of the team. Our product and design people requested Justin when being assigned a technical resource. Justin worked remotely, and stayed in rhythm and in touch with our business better than many of our local workers. He is a trusted, creative, and execution oriented individual who proves his worth time and again.
