Chip Reed
Director of Information Technology / Mad Scientist
Chip Reed, is a technological “Master Mad Scientist” when it comes to computers; he has been building, taking apart, and fixing electronics and computers since 1982. After college, he joined the Air Force where he learned boundary protection and user security. While serving in the Air National Guard, he learned how to think about portability and rapid availability of service in a Combat Communications Squadron. After a bout with reality, he was able to find sanctuary with such interesting companies such as Best Buy where he was a Counter Intelligence Agent on their Geek Squad. Refuge also came from Barrister working as a Help Desk technician, and later as their Depot Technician. Chip was also the Network Administrator for the United States Sports Academy. He found a very interesting position as a Network Cartographer for Agilis Outsourcing… there is nothing like exploring your digital landscape and mapping it, much like a Lewis and Clark expedition. And on a busy day here at NOLAGraphics it is not uncommon for Chip to be addressed as “Master Chip”. “The Hardware Master Mad Scientist”. He remains the cornerstone, the master hardware guy at NOLAGraphics. Forever on the hunt for computer and network problems! Chip is second to none at killing viruses, fixing hardware problems, and performing technological miracles.Anton Zanki
Director of Photography
Anton Zanki is a New Orleans native, photojournalist, and captain of The French Quarter backstreets for over 30 years.

A vet himself, Anton served in the first Gulf War, and is unwavering of his support of his fellow soldiers. Anton’s photography has been featured in countless print magazines, as well as online. He’s shot material for national publications, and has helped launch X-Cite, and Hot Spot magazines in New Orleans. Anton has shot subjects in every field, and always is looking for new ways to keep New Orleans on the artistic forefront. Anton’s photography is multi dimensional, and he’s had the dubious honor of being the go to guy for NOLAGraphics since the beginning, for better or worse. From piles of raw meat, to being the one photographer in town who just can’t stop shooting lawyers and judges, Anton is the hard working photographer who’s actually earned his stripes instead of inventing them on the Internet.Robert Dean
