Gerry Manacsa is a designer, multimedia artist and technologist living in Houston, Texas.

As an engineer working on the Space Shuttle program in the early 90s, he was a pioneer in using the web as a medium for data dissemination and communication for geographically-dispersed workgroups.

He later broke ground in mixed-media storytelling on the web, foreshadowing the rise of blogs and photoblogs with a personal multimedia journal that ran from 1996 through 2007.

As a lead designer and technologist with an innovative young Internet startup, he was a leader in defining and developing new learning methods that took full advantage of the medium, helping that company become a successful leader in its space.

Today, Gerry has joined another young and innovative startup, WOWIO, where he is helping to remake the world of books.

In his off hours, Gerry is a photographer, writer and explorer, looking forward to traveling the world with his wife, Karina.
