Adam Koehler

I have worked since 1998 as a graphic designer. Many of my roles went beyond that role. I am skilled in print design but have been involved deeply in interactive marketing the past few years.

I received a BA in Marketing at Capella University and will pursue my MBA at Indiana University in 2009. I have years of art training from S.C.P.A. and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where I received a degree in Animation/Multimedia.

I've also been building my knowledge of real estate and business management through my entrepreneurial activities. I have owned Koehler Homes, LLC since 2002 which was incorporated in April of 2008. I focus on rental properties and have completely remodeled several units as well as my own home in Covedale.

My goal is to make good things happen and enjoy doing it as much as possible.
