about

I am a website designer and developer living in St. Louis Missouri. I have worked for clients such as shoes.com, LowesRacing.com, JimmieJohnson.com, SportingNews.com, eMerge Interactive, and Mercedes Homes focusing on designing socially engaging websites that foster community, reinforce brand awareness, and brand loyalty. I am looking to bring my experience and depth of knowledge to a variety of clients in an effort to help them understand how to best balance their web presence, the skyrocketing social media, and their brand goals into an effective strategy that allows them to be a part of the conversation that is ‘their’ brand.

Your’e soaking in it…

This site serves not only as my personal online portfolio, but more importantly the manifestation of many of my branding experience and theories into practice. In short, ‘putting my money where my mouth is’. Part of this, experience is the acceptance and embrace of the ‘agile’ development method. “Anything that is successful is a series of mistakes.” In the end, it’s just my little corner of the web.

This site is built using the latest HTML, CSS and Jquery and utilizes WordPress as the primary CMS. Whenever possible I have made every effort to make every page ‘standards compliant” and accessable. Much like MicroSoft, I have chosen not to support Internet Explorer 6, for those visitors, however I do offer alternate content.

Artists Statement

“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” Andy Warhol. These words from Andy Warhol have always fascinated me for it’s pure simplicity. Too many artists think in order to be successful they must ‘sell out’ or comprimise their ‘vision’. I believe, as Andy did, the ‘art’ is in the collaboration in creating something that in the end is successful and exceeds expectations.

I am always sketching, doodling, and scribbling. The ‘tools’ of the trade that I employ are a pencil/pen and paper, MacPro, Macbook Pro, Wacom Tablet, and iPhone.
