About

A lifelong connection to Nike eventually drew Aaron to the Pacific Northwest, but his path started much earlier: as a gifted young artist who found his way into the sign and screen-printing industry at 16, building 29 years of expertise in the craft since.

He spent a decade with the nation’s leading screen print facility, Latitudes, rising to Creative Director for seven of those years, a run that included managing secret Jordan shoe releases with Nike, producing gear for the Super Bowl, World Series, and UFC, and co-developing the M&R Digital Squeegee, now used in production shops worldwide.

As a Producer at FPW Media, Aaron manages internal projects, specialty screen prints, and sign installations, and takes pride in sharing his knowledge to help the whole team grow stronger. Outside of work, he loves cooking, gardening, making art, and watching fights on the weekend with friends.

Adam was born and raised in Springfield, Oregon. From a very young age, he loved connecting with people, a passion that led him to Dutch Bros Coffee, where he quickly advanced through the company and was managing his own store by the age of 20. 

While building his leadership skills, Adam also discovered a love for technology and visual storytelling. That passion evolved into filmmaking, where he developed expertise in cinematography, photography, lighting, and camera rigging. That passion soon bled over into other areas of digital marketing, where he built and led the Creative Services teams within FPW Media.

Today, as Owner and Chief Creative Officer of FPW Media, he brings a unique creative vision and technical expertise to every project alongside a passion to grow the business to new heights.

Outside of work, Adam enjoys hosting for his friends with his wife, Hannah, playing with his dog, Raisin, and exploring his love for stories through video games and books.

Few people arrive at Shipping & Receiving by way of cabinet manufacturing, machining, robotics, pharmaceutical logistics, organic farming, and automotive painting, but that’s exactly the path Alex took to FPW Media.

He values the independence of the role and the trust it takes to keep multiple departments supplied with what they need, backed by a team he can lean on when things get busy. Alex is drawn to building things, pushing himself to improve, and connecting with like-minded people, echoing a favorite quote from engineer John Britten: “Great engineering begins with the courage to pursue an idea that everyone else thinks is impossible.”

Outside of work, he rides motorcycles with friends, longboards, plays frisbee golf, and enjoys cooking new recipes he finds online.

More than 10 years of demand generation, digital engagement, and revenue growth experience across retail, nonprofit, higher education, and B2B sectors sit behind Amanda’s approach to marketing leadership, building scalable infrastructure that generates leads and strengthens brand loyalty alike.

As Director of Creative Services at FPW Media, she thrives at the intersection of creativity and data, believing the best marketing decisions come from pairing deep analytics with bold strategic thinking. Her work has spanned digital campaigns, SEO strategy, brand overhauls, and educational programs reaching learners in over 100 countries, managing budgets exceeding $2M annually and leading teams of up to eight along the way.

Outside of work, Amanda likes to spend time with family and friends hiking, camping, rock-hounding, visiting wineries, relaxing on the coast, and exploring the beautiful state of Oregon. An avid reader, Amanda collects books of all genres, is consistently learning something new, and has an incurable love of puns and dad jokes. She appreciates her digits; she can really count on them!

Pencil drawings were where it started for Angela, a creative at heart whose early passion for art evolved into a career in digital design and project management.

At FPW Media, she combines her artistic vision, technical expertise, and leadership experience to guide signage and print projects from concept to completion, ensuring every client’s vision becomes a reality.

Film has been a constant thread in Cassidy’s life. She graduated from the University of Oregon with degrees in Cinema Studies and Advertising, focused on production and management respectively, before careers in veterinary medicine, real estate, insurance, and the content creator space eventually led her back to storytelling at FPW Media.

In her free time, Cassidy performs with a professional a cappella group, Verdant, and can be found performing locally and up and down the West Coast. She lives in Springfield with her wife, dogs, and cat.

A marketing career was never the plan for Chad. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a dual B.A. in English and Political Science in 2014, but while in graduate school for teaching, marketing work pulled him in a different direction.

He met his wife, Shawna, when the two were cast as Oberon and Titania in a high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. They welcomed their daughter, Rylan, in 2022.

In his spare time, Chad indulges his lifelong love of literature, reading voraciously, writing poetry, adding to his overflowing home library, while also finding time to sip Oregon Pinot Noir and practice newer hobbies like cooking and gardening.

Building positive relationships energizes CJ Shambelan most. Before joining FPW Media, he spent three years building his professional experience at BMW and Enterprise Mobility, where he developed the client-facing skills and relationship-driven approach he now brings to his role as Assistant Account Manager. At FPW, CJ enjoys working with various clients, understanding their goals, and collaborating with his internal teams to bring ideas to life.

Exceptional customer service has been the throughline of Dan’s career, from helping operate his family’s ski shop for more than 20 years to leading operations at one of the West Coast’s largest tennis facilities.

That client-first approach, rooted in trust, loyalty, and attention to detail, now carries into his work at FPW Media, where more than two decades in the promotional products and corporate merchandise industry help him find the right solutions for clients.

When he’s not working with clients, Dan enjoys staying active through golf, snow skiing, waterskiing, wake surfing, running, and spending time outdoors.

Twenty-plus years into a creative career, Dan still loves the chase of a good campaign, everything from print media to websites and digital work for companies large and small. A graduate of the University of California, Chico, he’s worked for agencies in California, Idaho, and Oregon.

As a people person, he has a great time with all the other circus performers and cat jugglers in the office.

When not in the office, you’ll find him spending time with his wife, Maureen, mountain biking, exploring the coast, disc golfing, petting every neighborhood dog, and playing board games with friends and family.

Understanding why people do what they do has always fascinated Dante, which led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Oregon.

Her career has been rooted in customer service, including several years as a barista and, most recently, as a Direct Support Professional working one-on-one with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, experience that taught her patience and understanding. As an Administrative Assistant at FPW Media, Dante enjoys being a resource for the team and leaving things better than she found them.

Outside of work, she loves going to the movies, reading, swimming, and playing video games, with her dog, Mozzi, close by.

Embroidery is a puzzle with many moving parts, and that’s exactly why Drew finds it so satisfying: treating every garment as its own small piece of art. He spent five years in retail before joining FPW Media three years ago, following an early love of the arts into the craft.

Outside of work, Drew loves storytelling through animation, whether it’s cartoons, anime, or video games, and considers storytelling at its finest when music, artwork, and narrative come together.

Promoting Oregon to visitors has been Fletcher’s unofficial calling for the past decade, a natural extension of growing up on the Oregon Coast and spending 20 years in the Eugene/Springfield area.

When he isn’t sharing his passion for the many small businesses that call Oregon home, Fletcher enjoys backpacking and camping, fly fishing, and seeking out unique experiences. If he’s not exploring the outdoors, he’s spending time with his family, playing chef, and watching sports.

Born in Eugene, Oregon, Garrett’s path to leadership began with competitive soccer, where he captained teams at the collegiate and professional levels in both the United States and Mexico.
