The Team
GreenGeeks core team members bring all their passion and uncompromising standards to bear on your needs. There is no higher calling then to serve others. Principle based and responsive, GreenGeeks cultivates stable, long term business relationships.
Kelley Graham - CEO
Kelley's focus is to help others adapt gracefully to changing technology, environmental conditions and spend as much time as possible on the leading edge of our innovative culture.
Experienced in a wide variety of operating systems, applications, and technology, Kelley ensures that IT in all its expressions should be elegant, intuitive and as easy to use as possible. His approach fits more with appeal, engagement and how people actually use everyday objects.
The child of a concert pianist, Kelley pursued jazz sax through childhood, then, as a young man, Architecture & the Arts. This formal education was further tempered by early career adventures in feature film production.
In 1994, having had enough of the film biz, Kelley founded Toasterz - a design and hardware consultancy. In 2008 our web and design activities were moved into GreenGeeks. This repositioning grew from Kelley's observation that IT practices needed clarity of purpose and soul.
All Kelley's life experience has been shaped by an ardent wish to Make Things Better. Whether through spoken, written or visually expressive media, Kelley's exceptional leadership, teaching ability and high accomplishment increases success in any endeavor that involves managing new ideas.

Having had the great fortune to have studied with one of the worlds leading Chinese martial artists, Master Sam F.S. Chin for the last seven years, the philosophy of Zen has become an important part of his approach to both life and work.
Ashe currently lives in Phoenix with his wife, where they share their energy and enthusiasm for art, music and social justice with their three children.
Benjamin Galloway - Fine Artist / Traditional Print Media
Being a father of 8 (!) supporting his family solely as a freelance art director/graphic designer makes saying no to paying work a virtual impossibility. Still, I would much rather work on projects that relate to things I care deeply about. These include Chinese martial arts, cycling, art, kids and environmental responsibility. I am an active volunteer and supporter of a number local causes including the Arizona Museum for Youth, The Phoenix Art Museum, the United Food Bank as well helping to clean up local trails and areas of natural beauty.
