.hello

I was born and raised outside of Seattle Washington. When I was about 6 years old, my father got a job working for Microsoft, and he taught me at an early age how to use the command prompt. My craft is building solutions and experiences that tell a story, bring value and celebrate function over form. I started building websites back in 1992 using frontpage express, then shifted to Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver, then shifted into custom-built PHP/C# frameworks, Wordpress/Joomla/Drupal platforms. Now I build sites for clients using a combination of technologies.
