Meet Webspec
We're Webspec, and we're happy to have you here! Our company is nothing without our team, so we'd like to introduce some of the staff and team that help bring your online strategies to the next level.
Jeremiah Terhark
Chief Executive Officer/Founder
The one who started it all. Jeremiah loves to meet potential clients and help them get connected to the team members who can make their online dreams become a reality. You might run into him at an Urbandale Chamber of Commerce event or catch him around town networking and presenting as a guest speaker. In rare moments when he isn't working, he enjoys playing piano pieces ranging from classical to modern.
Aaron Brown
Chief Operations Officer
In his years at Webspec, Aaron's many roles have included marketing, project management, development, systems administration, and more. In his role as our Chief Operations Officer, he helps manage the direction of our development teams and supports Webspec's technical infrastructure. If you need something urgent from him, word has it he can easily be bribed with a cold Dr. Pepper.
Lindsey LaMair
Vice President of Strategy
Lindsey's career at Webspec began in content, where she helped build up the experience and service offerings of the digital marketing team over the years. As Vice President of Strategy, she leads the internal direction of Webspec teams to ensure our staff are well-equipped to give our clients the best possible experience when working with us. In her personal life, she happens to be a proud owner of 52 house plants (and counting).
Sales &
Strategy
Team
Our sales & strategy team aims each day to make sure our schedules are filled with new clients who need our help improving their online presence. They make phone calls, schedule meetups, and network to set the groundwork for great relationships with clients who are ready to start a project with us.
Emily Goodyk
Director of Sales
Emily is the sales team's hustler extraordinaire, networking around Des Moines, across the Midwest, and beyond to build up the client relationships that allow us to keep creating websites, marketing strategies, and digital tools. She takes point on sales that require additional care and communication and collaborates with the team to ensure a smooth handoff into the project phase.
Websites &
Design
Division
Our websites division handles website designs and builds both large and small, along with extensive branding work. Need a website that looks great and is easy to update? Our team is on it. Need regular updates and hosting for your WordPress site? We have you covered. Need to start from scratch and create an entire brand identity? Say no more. This team works hard to exceed expectations for the look and functionality of all client projects.
Kelly Prieve
Director of Websites & Design
As Webspec's Director of Websites, Kelly hustles to provide consistent process guidance for the members of the websites division. In addition to helping refine team processes, she also helps set expectations for new projects and establishes a smooth handoff for clients moving from the sales phase to the project teams. In her free time, you may catch her showing off her salsa dancing skills in the Chicago area.
Digital
Marketing
Division
Our digital marketing team has seen it all, from sites with blogs that have been stale since the early days of the internet to ad strategies that have never seen the word “digital.” The content, SEO, social media, and advertising experts on the team are ready to take whatever you throw at them and turn it into a comprehensive marketing strategy you can be proud of.
Katie Gilbaugh
Director of Marketing
As the leader of the digital marketing division, Katie oversees client relationships and the development of our team members to ensure constant growth and progress on all spheres. She provides in-depth strategy and marketing knowledge to potential clients, and owns the success and training of our digital marketing experts in the ever-evolving digital landscape. Katie serves as her team’s musical muse and brings a unique twist to the work environment as a doula, helping to deliver not just beautiful melodies, but new life into the world.
Enterprise
Division
Our Enterprise Division is no stranger to tackling complex projects and solving problems. It works to make digital processes easier, creating custom apps and products that clients can expand for years to come. It also handles Webspec’s government work, including State of Iowa projects. The team is accustomed to big stakeholder groups, large content transfers, and detailed technical requirements. Our developers are experienced in the Drupal and Laravel frameworks and are able to work on projects using either or both.
Stacey Cooper
Director of Enterprise Program Management
Stacey oversees the management and development of the enterprise division. In her role, she cultivates relationships with our ongoing clients and helps ensure her team's developers have the resources and time necessary to balance product development and application work. Stacey is one of Webspec's avid bookworms, and she always aims to read 52 books a year (and usually succeeds!).
Administrative Team
Webspec's administrative team is what keeps the business running smoothly day-to-day. Without them, we wouldn't effectively be able to manage staff, improve our technical infrastructure, or efficiently communicate billing processes with clients. They support Webspec's staff and keep us all organized, for which we are grateful.
