The Mango Tree Team

James Friesen
President, Lead Developer, Joomla Expert
James is the founder and leader of Mango Tree Media and has over 10 years of experience in the Information Technology field. He places high value on relationship building, authenticity, and frequent communication. James loves meeting people and sharing ideas, but secretly harbors an inner nerd that emerges when creating and coding new websites. But don't fear, people tell him he's one of the few that can explain nerdy stuff in real English.

Brian Hansen
Project Manager, Graphic Designer, Print and Video Production
Brian's natural ability to make people feel comfortable and ask them great questions is what drives his success in both project management and graphic design. Yes, we agree, Project Management and Design abilities are a rare combination, but with over 8 years experience as director of media/production for two different non-profits, Brian proves that they can actually exist in one person, with impressive results.

Jennifer Friesen
Vice-President and Business Manager
Jen's exceptional organizational and administrative skills and experience as an accountant help keep the business end of things focused and on track. She also loves thinking of marketing ideas and ways to improve service to our clients, and helping them them with press releases and content updates 

Levi Carter
Programmer, Web Developer, Problem Solver
Levi interned with Mango Tree in the summer of 2010, then came on staff after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science - New Media/Systems from Taylor University.  Levi says he enjoys the creativity, the logic, the problem-solving, and even the challenge of his job. While he enjoys the technology aspect of his position, what really motivates him is working for the clients--providing them with high-quality solutions that meet their needs and empowers them.

Stacy Corwin
Client Care and Administration

Mission and Vision 

Mango Tree Media was formed in 2006 by founders and owners James and Jennifer Friesen. After eight years of working overseas for a non-profit organization, we felt called to a new challenge and vision.

The mission of Mango Tree Media is to provide fully guaranteed, high quality websites delivered with superior customer service to companies who want assurance that their website will be implemented to their complete satisfaction

Our vision and passion is to build a successful website design company that is based on technical excellence, superior customer service, client communication, and great-looking, easy-to-use, and highly functional websites. Phew... that's a mouthful! And yes, that’s shooting pretty high, but we are confident that it’s a goal that we are already achieving and will continue to improve on.

We directly target companies/organizations that have had poor customer service experiences and/or mediocre websites. We'll show them what great customer service and modern web design looks like, and then grow our business off of their willing referrals.

One of our main long-term goals is to start a student and recent graduate internship program with local universities to offer aspiring web designers the chance to learn real world web design and be mentored in their professional careers and spiritual walks.

We at Mango Tree Media believe that mentorship is an important way to get involved in the lives of young people and help them realize their full potential.
