Simple, Beautiful, and Usable

About this Site

This site is a place where I can come to experiment with new technologies and design techniques without constraints or worries of "messing up." This site is a place to call home. I love to design and develop websites so this place allows me to always have a place to experiment and learn.

This site has seen many transformations—from a site made completely with Flash with an intro animation, to what it is today, a site using XHTML, CSS, JavaScript Ajax, PHP, MySQL, and Flash.

Mini-Biography

I was born on October 7, 1975, in Columbus, Ohio. I'm the middle child and only brother to two sisters (Heather and Cathy) and grew up under the care of a single mom. Yeah, so three women and me...talk about outnumbered! But those three women sculpted me into the man I am today.

When I was 15, I went to live with my Pop in Columbus, Ohio, and that's where I live today.

I currently work in Columbus, Ohio, at the YMCA of Central Ohio as its Marketing Specialist-Graphic/Web Designer. I occasionally take on select side projects, but nothing I would call a second fulltime job—quality jobs over quantity of jobs.
