Brett A. Casadonte

When Brett Casadonte graduated from Western Michigan University, he had but one goal in life: work for Apple Computer. It took him all of four months to achieve it.

Since then, Mr. Casadonte has been working at the intersection of art and technology, holding a variety of technical and marketing positions for organizations such as Apple, FileMaker, NASA, and ShoreTel. While working at NASA, Mr. Casadonte led an outreach and communications team that won numerous awards for web site design with flash-based sites such as "Destination: ISS" and "Destination: Mars" as well as over a dozen Telly, Aurora, and Beacon awards for video production.

Shortly after leaving NASA, Mr. Casadonte co-founded The Casadonte Group LLC (TCG) with his wife Gilda Collins. TCG is a creative services agency in Santa Clara, California, where Mr. Casadonte serves as Director of Creative Services. In addition, Mr. Casadonte also established Casadonte Productions, a full-service video production company and the video arm of TCG.

Today, Mr. Casadonte continues to call Santa Clara home, along with his wife and three wonderful children. Mr. Casadonte holds degrees from Western Michigan University (B.B.A in Marketing) and De Anza College (A.A. in Professional Photography), and is an obsessive ice hockey player.
