About Web Maestro

The U.P. Web Maestro is the original foundation for what is now Web Maestro. After graduating from Northern Michigan University in 2001, Nathan Lyle turned what had been a freelance means of paying for tuition into a formal business. Nathan had been involved with computers and music since chidlhood, so "Maestro" was an appropriate name on which to build.

Though initially operating out of his home in Ishpeming, in 2006 Nathan joined forces with Greta Berg of Company B Graphics and moved into an office suite in Marquette, a short drive from beautiful Lake Superior. The two businesses were a perfect compliment to each other, allowing customers to get all of their visual marketing needs taken care of under one roof. Not much more than a year later, more space was needed, and a move was made to a new location across town.

In January of 2008, Kenric Feldpausch joined the team and brought some new design kungfu into the mix. The addition of another pair of hands also freed up enough time for Nathan to start planning the next stage of growth for the company.

It really is about who you know!

Nathan Lyle

Owner / Developer

Nathan has been tinkering with computers since the days of the Apple II (and still has a working one in the office). Though born in Livonia, Nathan has lived in the U.P. since he was two (his first memory is breaking into the house because his parents forgot the key) and he wouldn't trade the snow for anything. When he's not in front of a computer or chasing one of his four kids around, he likes to write and perform music on any instrument he can get his hands on. His interests include reading and watching science fiction, books on theoretical physics and astronomy, and artificial intelligence.
