My name is Jim Goede. After getting “burned out” from high-tech industry marketing, I started Goede Digital Media in 2002 as a “background hobby” to provide an outlet for my creative side, while starting a completely unrelated and successful business as a farrier (horseshoer), or what I called my “Technology Sabbatical”.

As a graphic designer, I did mostly pro-bono work for schools and other non-profits to provide local community service while shoeing horses during the day.  After 12 years as a farrier (getting yanked around, kicked, stepped on and bitten by horses takes its toll), I made the choice to go back to my creative roots by  focusing on the part of marketing that inspired me – graphic design.  I went back to school to get a degree in Digital Graphic Design, concentrating on the finer points of the Adobe Creative Suite of design applications that include Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat and Premiere Pro, the industry standard applications for digital design and editing.

I now devote all my efforts towards my passion to fully utilize and leverage my creative talents, including  terrestrial and aerial photography and videography for Real Estate (as an FAA certified Drone Pilot), digital graphic design and marketing services.
