Rudy Barrett

Rudy is animator extraordinaire and down-to-earth Drupal developer guy at Horton Group. He appreciates the overlapping of roles around the office, the non-cublicle work environment that fosters creativity, and the “relaxed but responsible” mood. He sees the Horton team as a family, interacting in a project-oriented way for eight hours a day.

He started off as a student at Belmont University, but later switched to Middle Tennessee State University. There he was extremely impressed with one of his teachers, whom he felt could animate anything! Rudy looks to Leonardo da Vinci as one of the first animators, fully understanding the range of human motion. Rudy joined Horton Group to work on Flash projects, but has grown into one of our key Drupal developers.

Rudy still loves the fusion of ideas and turning ideas into reality on the screen. He views the Internet as a global communication network which opens up the mind precisely because of its interactive nature. Static media just doesn’t do it. What he loves is a living, breathing website.

In his spare time Rudy still has animation on his mind, planning a 3-D animated program called David the Gnome.
