About Me
Beginning my career as a full-time programmer in 2004, I have spent much of my career developing and maintaining websites within the publishing industry: building sites for magazines, newsletters, and online publications. I am always looking for ways to optimize workflow and automate repetitive tasks. I have spent many years on both sides of server requests, handling back-end business logic and front-end display.
I began building sites on the WordPress platform in 2010. I was impressed by the ease in which a site could be created. The simplistic database design, ease of content management, and infinite flexibility makes it a dream to build on but it also allows clients to take ownership of their content.
I have always enjoyed building things. I take great pleasure in both simplifying and beautifying. Your website should work for both you and your visitors. I am eager to tackle this challenge.
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of sending our two girls off to college. We can now reflect on how amazing & independent they have both become; with the complete expectation that one day they will return with loads of laundry in-hand. [ love you guys! ;-) ]
