Howdy

Glad you decided to stop by. This site contains some examples of projects I've worked on over the years, a little bit about me, and a few of my relevant skills with nifty skill level meters. Nearly all of the sites are custom made by me, but I have had some help from my graphic design friends at 3 Deuces Design (who do killer work, btw) on a few projects.

I mostly consider myself an interface designer, but have decent JavaScript skills, know a thing or two about marketing, and can manage if need be. Take a look around and shoot me a message.

Portfolio

Mostly my recent work, but there are a few items from a while back I've thrown in.

About

As you can tell, I'm not a big talker. I've pretty much always been that way, unless you get a beer or two in me. I've been making websites from the ground up for around 8 years now but didn't consider it a full-time job until about 3 years ago. That's when I really started getting interested in advanced interactivity and programming. I am still learning new techniques every day with a focus on innovation in creation.

Thanks for stopping by!
