This is my ADG bio that will be going up on the website soon!

Name: Tyler Antkowiak
Title: Content Developer

Superpower: Creative Giant. There are few artistic disciplines in which Tyler has not dabbled, from painting and sculpture, to music and theater, to creative writing and poetry. Such a diverse blend of talents and skills could only fit into large package, and Tyler’s broad 6’6” frame make him a prominent member of the ADG team.

Alter ego: Philosopher King. Tyler is happiest smoking a fine cigar and talking about philosophy. When not working at ADG Tyler loves nothing more than reading influential philosophers and proving them wrong. He spends his time wondering if Existentialistm exists, and considering why there are no Nihilists.

Inspirations and Addictions: Irish Rock, NC Wyeth, and GK Chesterton. Tyler finds inspiration in the mysteries of God’s good creation. Tyler finds the perfect blend of addiction and inspiration in contact sports.

Drink: Caramel Machiatto with 3 extra shots of espresso.

Favorite Thing about working for ADG: Tyler grew up at ADG, and he’s extremely grateful for the culture of creative cultivation that has been so fundamental in his upbringing and outlook on life.

Story: Ever since Tyler was a wee tike (well… he was never wee) his creativity manifested itself. More often then not, to the chagrin of his father, ADG founder Jeff Antkowiak, this usually meant paint on the carpet and gouges in the kitchen table. The atmosphere at ADG creative has done nothing but intensify his rogue artistry. Tyler has won several art contests on a state and national level, and brings that competitive creativity to any project put before him.
From his humble beginnings as the office intern at age twelve, Tyler has moved from trash boy to an important part of the team. He loves creating, whether that means writing copy for brochures, cutting video, content development, or graphic design. His list of skills only grows from the guidance and instruction he receives from the ADG team.

In His Words:

What does it mean to you to serve the client?
“Its easy to sacrifice honesty and integrity for simplicity. It’s much easier to give the client exactly what he asks for, rather that attempt to advise them in creating something that will really benefit them. It is fundamentally important to maintain artistic integrity, even if that means a little friction with the client. Anything besides artistic integrity coupled with a sincere interest to see the client succeed is a disservice.”

How do you gauge the success of your work?
“The staff at ADG is so brilliant and creative. If the guy in the nest cube over looks at my desk and is impressed with what he sees then I know good things are happening. ”

What’s the most important thing for the client to know about you?
“Most kids aspire to being firemen or police officers in there formative years. I wanted to come work at ADG. This is my dream job; and that is going to come through in what I produce.”
