With The Band

About Me

Your first question is probably how you say my name. Say “Zuh”, then say “vee”, but put it together and say it fast. Z’vi. S’vee. Zvi. Zvi. Svee. There you go. The name is Israeli. I’m American though, born and raised. My last name is Band. I’ll let you figure that one out.

I grew up on the west coast (saw my first snow at 16), but have lived in DC for the past six years. I attended the University of Maryland, College Park, and love my Terps and the many friends I see every day.

When I was in high school, I ran Skeevis Windows/Internet Newsletter, a weekly newsletter with Windows tips, tricks, and funny jokes. It grew to over 3,000 subscribers. I loved it.

Then I started blogging about 5 years ago. I used to run one of those whine-about-everything blogs. Now I write about what interests me, as well as document to some extent what I’m going through.

I love web design, social media, good music, and anything not coffee-flavored.

I have been doing various freelance work since I was in high school. I now do digital strategy, design, and development, and run skeevisArts. It’s awesome. I do other entrepreneurial stuff as well. Localnik is my baby.

What’s skeevis you ask? A girl gave me that nickname in 5th grade, and it stuck. Some of my friends don’t know my real name.

Here’s me on Facebook.

Here’s me on LinkedIn.

Here’s me on Twitter.

I believe strongly in the power of personal associations and connections, so send me an email. I respond to every one. Unless you’re the son of the deposed kind of Nigeria, or are trying to sell me home security systems or happy pills.
