Following many years of prominent advertising agency experience with agencies like GSD&M and RSD, Eric co-founded goFish in 2010. A graduate of St. Edward’s University in Austin, Eric’s advertising career began while he was still a student, designing promo materials for country music artists like Gary P. Nunn and Wade Bowen. Years of advertising agency work followed, culminating in nationally recognized pieces for political campaigns like President George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. These projects, along with congressional and public advocacy accounts, provide Eric with invaluable direct mail advertising experience.

At goFish, Eric’s graphic design work includes medical industry clients like Neurobilogix, Genomix Nutrition, and Kalypso, as well as multiple museums including the San Antonio Children’s Museum, McNay Art Museum, Austin’s Thinkery and Perez Art Museum (PAMM) in Florida.

His small to mid-sized clients throughout San Antonio and the surrounding area range from construction, plumbing, and electrical trades, to oil and gas, real estate, and nonprofits like Crosspoint and the San Antonio Food Bank.

Eric works closely with seasoned professionals to produce videos for the websites, create marketing materials, and program custom client side management applications. In addition to graphic design and production, he manages projects from inception to completion, handling client communication and press checks. As a result of his extensive experience, Eric has developed the mantra of effective design/effective results, which manifests itself in bold, clean, innovative, and creative designs. His work has proven successful in winning elections, growing attendance, increasing profits, increasing membership, raising awareness, and raising funds.

Prior to founding the advertising agency, Mary was employed at Olsen & Shuvalov political consulting firm where she served as lead account executive and production manager. Mary prepared client press packets, managed direct mail fundraising for senatorial and congressional candidates, researched information for the White House, and managed all fundraising for a successful U.S. presidential political campaign.

Mary also has extensive experience in the field of photography as photographer and production manager at Ron Durica Photography. For many years, she shot photos and portraits while also managing relations between processing labs and clients.

Mary’s high level background in production management and photography make her ideally suited to goFish—and our clients. Now focused primarily on office management, vendor relations, and client invoicing, she possesses the knowledge and requisite experience that comes from having worked at a large agency, but tempers it with the creativity and attention to personal client relations which can only be found at goFish. Achieving success at both ends of the equation, Mary is the embodiment of our ideal: effective design/effective results.

After years of creating unique and effective graphic designs for a wide range of clients, she became VP/ Creative Director for another agency located in Scottsdale. This experience was followed by a move to the Lone Star State.

Over the past 20 years, Kim has demonstrated the skills necessary to build lasting client relationships. Her creative experience includes corporate identity, collateral, print ads, publications, websites, brochures, packaging, promotion, and public relations, while her vast industry experience ranges from healthcare, education, technology, and finance, to political campaigns, automotive, retail, and sports.

Felicia has extensive photography experience at both goFish and Ron Durica Photography, and as a junior designer, executes edits on existing designs and preps files for final design. Felicia also manages our social media platforms in addition to overseeing client receivables and deliveries.

Eric has also successfully developed dozens of custom Wordpress websites and themes, as well as numerous web applications. Experienced in Laravel and Zend PHP Frameworks, Eric can program or develop custom solutions ranging from simple code snippets to web applications and RESTful API’s. In his spare time, this licensed helicopter/airplane pilot flies frequently, races cars and motorcycles and plays the guitar.
