Will Seyffer

Project Manager

Will grew up at the base of a mountain, next to a river, in the middle of the woods, in the down east town of Franklin, ME. The son of a chef and a teacher, Will had a very unique childhood with travelling constantly, summers on a house boat in Sorrento Harbor, and constant adventure. In other words, he had a chance to see at an early age, what life had to offer.

After surviving high school, he attended the University of Maine where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in New Media Studies. During those years, he was employed by campus based ASAP Media Studies working mainly on film projects. At ASAP, he was given the chance to travel the country and film and interview various ASAP alumni who have made their mark in the tech arena. Additionally, he was able to go to Juneau, AK to document the Alaskan Folk Festival, which to date remains one of his favorite memories. Soon after graduation Will ventured south, to Portland, ME.

An employee of Integra since 2009, Will handles most everyday aspects of project management, aiding in strategic planning, and offering a discerning eye when needed.

Outside of work, Will is an avid foodie and cook, traveler, hiker/mountain biker, tennis player, automotive enthusiast, gadget geek, music lover, and general beach-bum.

Brian Clement

Account Manager

Brian was born and raised in a small Connecticut town, where he spent much of his life before moving to an even smaller town in Maine. His interest in technology began at a very young age, when he was forced to set the time and date on the household VCRs for his mother.

Years later, after studying new media and communications at the University of Maine, he decided to pursue other interests, transferring to the University of Southern Maine. There he would study political science and graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts.

Usually a much faster learner, it took the entire duration of his political science degree for Brian to realize that politics was no place for a gentleman. He joined the Integra Strategic team immediately thereafter.

Outside of work, Brian enjoys traveling, film, and music. He lives in Portland with his fiancé and their black lab, Abby.

Doug Bertlesman

Manager of Development

Doug began his career in the investment management industry as both a software developer and portfolio manager. Since 2000, he has focused on web development and internet technologies. Prior to joining Integra in 2011, he worked at Bowdoin College, Digital Goat Consulting Services, and Tilson Technology Management.

At Integra, Doug works with his development team to design and develop flexible web-based solutions to meet complex client needs.

Doug lives in Bath, Maine with his wife and three children. He is also the lead singer of a local rock band that may someday crawl out of the garage.

Mark Peterson

Senior Developer

Like all of us here, Mark wears a lot of hats. Part programmer, part server admin, part designer, and several other things as well.

He's extremely fond of animals, particularly cats, and volunteers a good deal at a natural science center as well as a wolf sanctuary. His favorite outdoor activities include archery, hiking, yard work, and whatever will get him dirty.

Also, he spends far too much time bowing and scraping to his adoable cat, Kairo.

Cooper Pickett

SEO Consultant

Cooper grew up in New York, but he's always loved Maine. As a kid he camped along the Maine coast with his family and he now lives in his family home in South Bristol, a small town near Damariscotta where he fishes during the summer. He doubts there is anything but mackerel in the seas of Maine.

Cooper graduated in 2010 from Columbia University in the City of New York with a B.A. in Philosophy. He's spent recent years living in Paris, France and Salvador, Brazil learning the ins and outs of SEO and Social Media Marketing. He has worked for the international and multilingual SEO Company FastlaneSEO. Additionally, he writes for Search Engine Watch (SEW), a respected resource and media outlet for Search for whom he recently attended and covered Search Engine Strategies Toronto. He's fascinated by the ways in which internet behaviors reflect people's real world desires, aspirations, greatness and weaknesses and sees SEO through the broad lens of marketing to, serving, and augmenting a business' community on the Internet — a community of real people rather than "users."

When not traveling or fishing, Cooper enjoys spending time with his parents, his brother and his sister, tennis, chess and Bossa Nova.
