Brent Phelps

Brent Phelps has more than a decade of experience leveraging content on the internet. His broad base of experience includes various roles in the photography industry and more recently with online video and social-networking businesses. Brent began his career working as a freelance Photographer in Denver, CO and New York City and ran a successful commercial photo studio in Manhattan. In the late 90’s Brent accepted a position at Index Stock Imagery a new stock photography business that revolutionized the way content was licensed via the internet. As a business leader at Index Stock, Brent was responsible for sales, marketing, and editing in various roles. In addition Brent launched Index Open, the world's first Royalty Free stock photo subscription product. In 2005 Brent accepted the position of VP of Marketing for PunchStock, a post he held until 2007 when the business was acquired by Getty Images (GYI). Following that, Brent served as VP of Marketing for Flix55, a consumer video sharing community developed with Michael Pascucci (Founder of WLNY TV, Sebonack Golf Club, Etc.). Brent is currently employed as the VP of Business Development & Marketing for Health Guru Media, a video site focused on expert health content for the 18-45 y/o demographic. Brent is a graduate of the Colorado Institute of Art with a BA in Photography.

Always the moody artist, Brent Phelps insists on referring to himself in the third person (Standard protocol for a Bio). Brent is also fond of labeling things with the pre-fix “über” in an effort to sound more creative. Brent the über-creative is bored and must go now.
