Overit Media is a digital agency, founded in 1993, in Albany, NY as a means to provide the highest quality creative results that effectively transform visions into branded solutions.

Dan Dinsmore is the founder of Overit Media, created with the goal of providing great technology, ideas and solutions for great brands. Dan sought out the best team of designers, programmers and marketing gurus- and has not stopped there. He is constantly on the pulse of everything marketing and technology related for his clients and is passionate about video, motion graphics, and the best equipment available. He settles for nothing but the highest quality of work for all of his clients and you can expect him to work closely with you to personally see that all of your goals are met. Spending a large chunk of his time working, Dan still finds time to enjoy his home life. He is happily married to his Overit coworker, Michelle Toch Dinsmore. Their ever-curious toddler, Braydon, extremely talented daughter Maiya, brilliant son Devin and attention hungry dog, Ovie, make sure Dan and Michelle's home life is anything but dull.

Why did people tame and domesticate dogs? Perhaps because of the unconditional love, devotion and universal acceptance that comes so naturally. Or, perhaps it's because dogs always let you know when the postman is at your door with an alarming bark. In Ovie's case, it's all of the above, plus he makes work feel like home. He reminds all of us to stop work once in a while and celebrate the moment, rather than wait for a special occasion. Ovie has recently been invited to model for an internationally recognized company.
