Walter Ottenhoff - who has written 5 posts on The Spark Report.

Wally smells good, is handsome, and has his wife write his bios. He has the perfect mix of an education for a mid-sized agency—he originally went to school at Trinity Christian College where he earned a marketing degree, and then earned a Graphic Design degree from Westwood College. At Demi & Cooper, he is the Interactive Manager/Web Art Director. He designs, manages the web department and clients, does makeshift IT work, and has been known to change a lightbulb or two. He lives in Elgin—you may see him scootering to work on his Razor—with his wife, Mollie, and son, Walter Ben Ottenhoff V (or Cinco, for short).
