Wil founded SEER Interactive in 2002, and has brought it to a highly successful state as a well respected company with national reach. Clients include Johnson and Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AON and the National Constitution Center. In addition, SEER is proud of its policy that involves staff members in community action as well as client work.
