BEND, OREGON – When Aaron Webre decided to attend the University of Redlands, in California, little did he suspect that one day he would return to his hometown of Bend, Oregon to open a branch of an award-winning Internet Marketing and Web Development firm.

What began as a work-study internship position in 2004 at RedFusion Media in Redlands, transitioned into a full-time career in web development, and Aaron has never looked back.

“I have never stopped playing or writing music. It was simply a case of finding a way to express myself and create art. I just naturally fell into web design and development. It is always inspirational to see how different art forms, such as music and web design, complement each other. As with music, the different facets of multi-media production creatively inspire me.” In addition to webmaster duties, Aaron also does voice-overs and works with music when overlaying scores for multi-media production. He graduated from the University of Redlands with a B.A. in music and he continues to write and perform.

With offices in Redlands, California, and now in Bend, Oregon, RedFusion Media specializes in helping clients tell their stories.
