NBI's Team:

Ryan Chapin, Founder:



Ryan Chapin got his start in the computer business as a 3D animator and artist working on some of the early 3D, 1st Person Role Playing Games in 1995.  Soon thereafter, Ryan became interested in the Internet and the, at that time, infant World Wide Web.

In 1996, Ryan took a position as the Art Director of the Indigo Group Omnimedia, Inc. an early new-media design firm whose service offerings were limited primarily to design work.  Ryan noticed early on that limiting in-house capabilities to design made it very difficult to deliver a website with even the most minimal level of interactivity.  As more time went on Ryan became more interested in the business side of things and became convinced that there was a need for a type of company that could provide a complete Internet business solution; from initial consulting, to design, development and hosting.

Thus, in November 1997, Ryan started Nuts & Bolts Interactive, Inc.  Its mission: to provide complete and integrated, Internet marketing, design, development and managed hosting services for its clients.

When Ryan isnt meeting with clients or developing Internet marketing strategies, he spends his time with his family, roadracing motorcycles, advocating motorcycle safety, and creating artwork of all kinds.
