So what makes us beachdogs? We are top dogs in graphic arts, web development and marketing. We often work with newshounds. We’re loyal, fun-loving, tourism-fetching, award-winning show dogs, barking up the right tree on your behalf. We worry on a bone until we get it right. We work like dogs. We play like pups. We’re strong supporters of our local no-kill shelter. AND, we don’t think it’s a coincidence that Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the constellation. Oh yeah, and we LOVE living and working at the beach!

Meet Our Team

Keleigh Schwartz, Alpha Dog

Motto: You will prosper in the pursuit of sticks

Usually in the kennel: when not sleeping

A whirlwind of enthusiasm who embraces client goals as passionately as her own, Keleigh takes ‘being beachdog’ very seriously.  When she’s not working for one of her pet non-profits (South Pacific County Humane Society and Rotary top the list), she’s petting one of her work for profit projects.  A master of her digital color crayons Keleigh is at her best when creating.  She provides concept development and graphics for advertising and collateral media (brochures, postcards, magazines, and the like),  identity development (logos, business cards, stationery, labeling, signage) and full-blown marketing plans.

Ethan Seifert, Code Puppy

Motto: Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time.

Usually in the kennel: M-F: 8:30am – 5pm

Fleeing a small cubicle in a large bureaucracy, Ethan relocated to the Peninsula after being attracted by our island pace, salt air and friendly natives. Amazed by arriving at work before his coffee is cool enough to drink, Ethan is enjoying the culture shock of reducing his metro size by 99.99% and having walls and windows all to himself.

Ethan lives, breathes, and dreams code. He takes particular delight in integrating disparate systems and mucking about in a wide variety of databases, flip-flopping data to order.    PHP, MySQL, CSS, ROTFLOL… alphabet soup is his best buddy.

Sabrina Kent, Where Wolf

Motto: Who better to unknot tangled loops than a loup-garou, mon ami?

Usually in the kennel: M-F: 9am – 5pm

Excelling in her roles as Company Kibble Counter, Project Manager, Social Marketing Maven and, well, pretty much always knowing the answer to, “Sabrina, where’s the…?”, Sabrina is a Code Puppy in training.

Wendy Murry, Jack Russell of All Trades

Motto: Pooches Gracias

Usually in the kennel: T: 10am – 4pm, W: 10am – 5pm, Th: 9am – 5pm

Wendy comes to us with a dark and mysterious past… Not really. Truth is, she’s an awesome artist, fabulous hair stylist and parent extraordinaire, along with hubby Del, of two gorgeous children. Thanks to Wendy, the rest of us have two extra hands when we need them, which is pretty much all the time. AND, she is quite the Jake The Alligator Man expert, organizing and orchestrating his annual birthday bash each summer. It’s fun and freakish frivolity, Peninsula-wide.

Aspen Calla Lilly Schvartz, CLO (Chief Leaning Officer)
Motto: A scratch, in time, saves nine.

Perdita Bonita Maria Zebrina Rosa Schvartz, OLP (Our Little Pony)
Motto: I AM the dog and pony show

The girls are our corporate exercise program, happy to be let in and out at every whim.  They keep our blood pressures down, provide regular comic relief and love to greet visitors.  You know, except during their naps.  And rest time.  And beauty sleep.

Keith Schwartz, Vice President of Doodie Duty

Motto: Stop and smell EVERYTHING (except maybe the doodie)

Usually in the kennel: except when he’s not

Who else enjoys research and sales as much as basking in the sun on an exotic island? His track record in website marketing and project advertising sales speaks for itself. Keith’s officially retired these days, but we keep dragging him out of the garden to do his magic on a project basis. When he wants time off, Keith claims “Insufficient Memory @ This Time”.

Karadog, CEO (Chief Eating Officer)

Motto: A fool and his cookie are soon parted

Usually in the kennel: Kara crossed the rainbow bridge on January 21, 2009

When founding beachdog.com back in 1996, we thought long about what to name the company. We wanted the name to express the ideals we had for our business; can-do attitude, constant learning, chutzpah, determination, beauty, creativity, loyalty, passion, fun, play, giving more than you take. It suddenly occurred to us that the reason we so adored our beloved shelter mutt was that she exemplified all these qualities. And so beachdog.com found its moniker. She is deeply missed by anyone who ever spent time with her. Gratefully, that was many. Our photo tribute to Karadog.
