Warren is the hardest working entrepreneurial IT man I know. With more pokers in the fire than Edward Scissorhands at a bar-b-q, Warren puts the capital “C” and “B” in Creative Businessman. With both feet planted firmly under the directors chair at Plank, as his hands play with his PSP, and tap at his computer to come up with engaging sites for interesting clients, he effortlessly combines his devillish boyish charms with steely eyed determination to get the most out of himself and those around him.

Always glad to send him a drawing and have him say ” You Rock”!
Well- YOU Rock, Mr. Wilansky!
