My Story
Born and raised in Wyoming, I spent my summers exploring the mountains and my winters on the slopes of the Colorado Rockies. I started a DJ business with a buddy when I was 13, and I’ve been into tech, creativity, and building things ever since. Those early experiences shaped how I approach challenges—with equal parts logic, creativity, and curiosity.
I studied computer science, desktop publishing, and graphic design in Arizona before moving to LA during the dot com boom. That same year, I met—and fell in love with—my future wife in Orange County. We were married in Laguna Beach a few years later and have lived on the Southern California coast ever since, eventually settling in North San Diego County where we’re still rooted today.
Professionally, I’ve been building for the web since 1999—starting with brochure-style sites for small businesses and teaching computer skills, HTML, and CSS to K–12 students. I’ve since worked with startups, nonprofits, and national organizations—designing, building, and maintaining everything from lean campaign microsites to complex, high-traffic platforms. I specialize in building reliable systems, secure infrastructure, and scalable solutions that support long-term growth. With deep AWS experience (and a strong understanding of other hosting platforms), I handle everything from early wireframes to backend architecture and cloud deployment.
With a background in design and photography, I bring a creative perspective to my technical work. While most of my time is spent in development and infrastructure, I’ve also provided photography for clients over the years—including promotional materials, websites, and the occasional book cover—offering visual support when it complements the project.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors with my wife—hiking, exploring the coast, or enjoying the quiet of the mountains together. We also love being in the water, whether we’re snorkeling, floating in the pool, or simply enjoying the ocean. Our favorite evenings often involve a glass of wine or a margarita in hand, watching the sun set over the California coast. We’ve been happily married for many years, and the life we’ve built together is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and strong foundations—both personally and professionally.
