Jack Reager, President
After establishing his company in Scranton, Pennsylvania due to a renewed vigor in the economic development of the area Jack decided to explore opportunities for BlackOut Design in the outlying areas of New York and New Jersey to augment their local client base. Having completed his MBA and looking to grow the creative staff at BlackOut Jack began the process of developing a portfolio of services for small to mid sized businesses that incorporated traditional print design and innovative web design.

With roughly ten years working with technology as a tool to empower companies he has remained interested in growing not only his companies reputation as a premiere provider of advertising solutions but also increasing his companies involvement in the growing NEPA business community.

Jeff Boris, Creative Consultant/User Interface Designer
While Jeff was being utilized as a creative consultant due to his fine arts background a decision was made to invite his creativity to be a permanent fixture within the organization. Being a traditional artist who primarily works with paint and canvas he brings traditional design and theory to solutions that have all too often strayed from proven techniques. Jeff still finds himself showing his latest works in local galleries while completing his Masters of Fine Arts.

Matt Artz, Client Relations
Matt joined BlackOut Design with an already impressive list of achievements. While working on completing his dual degree in computer information systems and biotech he expressed an interest in working with BlackOut Design. It was Matt’s intention to work with our clients to better educate them on all of the tools that are available to their company to better reach their audience. His technical experience along with his personal interest in audio technology as well as music made him an excellent candidate to educate our clients on what our cross media communication firm can provide for our clients.

Nathan Milner, Editor
An award-winning journalist published in newspapers around Northeastern Pennsylvania, Nathan brought to BlackOut a proven skill set in writing, editing and photography. Working at his hometown newspaper, Nathan developed his skills in clear, direct communication and the photojournalistic ability to capture the essence of an event in a picture. While serving as an informal copyeditor, Nathan's interest in representing the BlackOut image in written communications led him eventually into generating compelling, orginal copy for press releases and direct marketing materials.
