About
Joshua Dale
Lead Developer
My interest in web development started while I was in the United States Air Force. The first project I undertook was to code an interactive photo gallery to display images of my world travels. The enjoyment I derived from this small project inspired me to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at the University of North Dakota in 2007. After I began my first semester, I was hired by UND's University Relations department as a web development apprentice. In less than a year, I became the department's head web developer. I stayed with University Relations for four years after I graduated in 2009 before moving on to work with LogicMaze out of Hutchinson, KS. Within a year, I became the lead developer, spearheading the redevelopment and advancement of their in-house content management system. In 2018, I moved on to Baseline Creative, where I worked as the user experience developer. Less than one year later, I left Baseline Creative to focus on growing my own company, Olive Web Design. During my career as a web developer, I have noticed that there are very few web design companies that focus on creating a digital presence that will grow a business by generating more customers and lead to increased revenue. This is why I specialize in establishing a digital presence that will optimize business growth, customer acquisition, and revenue generation.
Julia, my wife, spends her days maintaining a healthy home environment and raising our children to be great at life. She decided to go to college for a holistic nutrition degree after we married in 2013. In 2018, she graduated at the top of her class and runs a successful nutrition coaching practice. Our son, Corban, loves rockets, airplanes, and instruments. Our daughter, Evalynne, is attempting to take her first steps. As a family, we love to travel, spend time in nature, and get together with friends.
Jenifer Hardesty
Project Manager & Customer Care Specialist
In 2016, I graduated from Hutchinson Community College with an Associate of Arts degree that focused on Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Before and after, I worked at the Hutchinson News for twelve years. Four of those years were with the web design and marketing company LogicMaze, aka Harris Business Services, aka Gatehouse Media. I have years of experience in Customer Service, Management, Administrative Work, Project Management, Marketing, Social Media Marketing, and Information Technology. I've participated in Leadership Reno County and am a board member of Reno County Drug Free Alliance.
My husband, Bryan Hardesty, is the IT Director for Bluestem Communities. I have two sons, Alex and Ethan. Alex is 15 years old and is in 10th grade this year. He enjoys playing with his friends, video games, and building stuff with Bryan. Ethan is 6 years old and in Kindergarten. He enjoys playing with his toys, sorting, counting, and doing geology. We are a very close family and love spending a copious amount of time together.
We also share our home with our loving animals. We have three cats, Bella, Abu, and Socks, and last but not least 2 dogs, Sadie and Emma.
Outside of work and family, I don’t have much downtime, but when I do, I relax by reading books, watching TV, or playing video games. I've also recently started getting into diamond art painting. I find it very relaxing, and it reminds me of color-by-numbers from when I was a child.
Karen Schuckman
Administrative Specialist
I currently serve as an Administrative Specialist, where I support daily operations and help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. I have always enjoyed working in a role where I can help others, stay organized, and ensure the details are handled so the bigger picture comes together.
In this position, I continue to learn something new every day. I enjoy the variety of tasks and the constant opportunities to grow, and I take pride in being detail-oriented and dependable in everything I do.
Outside of work, I have been married for 27 years and truly value the time I spend with my family. They are an important part of my life, and I enjoy making the most of our time together.
