PROFILE

About Me

Personal Introduction

My life ambition is to radically improve the places I work and live. Whether I'm working internally on growing the culture of a company, or externally through direct marketing or media production, my goal is always to push the envelope on what is viable. I am inherently motivated by challenges, and I am enthusiastic about learning new things and gaining new perspectives. I thrive on being provided the opportunity to prove new concepts as solutions to future challenges.

My ability to adapt and learn is what I consider to be my greatest strength. The world is accelerating more rapidly than ever – “business as usual” has become discernably unusual. My technical knowledge, while important, must coincide with a strong desire to innovate and evolve beyond current practices. Moreover, my dedication and commitment to my work provides me with the fuel to drive difficult projects to a successful conclusion.

Personal Hobbies/Interests

Web development: I’ve been developing websites in my free time for over 20 years. This started as a school project back in 1998, and ever since this time I’ve been enthusiastic about creating innovative and comprehensive user experiences.

Video Games: Video games have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been creating and managing online communities in multiplayer games for over a decade – it’s a big reason why I got so serious with web design (creating websites to organize and structure the communities I’ve created.) With virtual and augmented reality now becoming mainstream, there’s also never been a better time to be an early adopter in this industry.

Socializing: Group hikes, visits to the beach with my dog, and board game nights with a great group of friends are some of my favorite experiences in life. I particularly enjoy hosting small gatherings with close friends at my home - planning and experiencing the perfect evening with good people is unparalleled in my book.

Technology Optimization: I don’t own many devices that I haven’t jailbroken, rooted, or tweaked in one way or another. For me, one of the great joys in life is unlocking the potential of my next investment. I like options, which is why I run three operating systems on my primary computer, and custom ROM’s on all my phones. I even designed and created my own smart home/security system.

Movies and TV Shows: I love finding movies and TV shows that have a strong impact. Be it thoughtful movies that expand my perspective, or new comedies I can’t wait to share with friends. I strongly believe many movies and TV shows are an important cornerstone of the human narrative.

WHAT CAN I DO?

WEB/UX DESIGN

I've been designing websites and user experiences for the better part of two decades. This is a life-long hobby, and something I've always found an incredible amount of satisfaction in doing.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

When it comes to video production, I'm a one stop shop - everything from storyboarding, scripting, lighting, framing, shooting, audio recording, voiceovers, editing, motion graphics and even some 3D CGI work.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

It's one thing to design an interface, but it's quite another to make it work, and work well. I pride myself on creating lean, clean, well-documented code behind all of my projects.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

I spent much of my formal education focusing on camera work. I am well-accustomed to the practical and scientific principals behind lighting, composition, perspective, and general asthetics.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management, to me, is the act of pulling together a lot of people, and a lot of pieces into a successful end product. I pride myself on achieving great results in the face of great adversity.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

I've been fascinated by computers and technology my whole life. When I encounter a problem, I don't just seek a solution, I seek an explanation. As such, I have a wide breadth of knowledge when it comes to IT.
