Welcome to my personal website. As is the nature of those in my business (web applications developer) I tend to get more work done on other people's web sites than my own. This site is here to provide quick access to potential employers about myself and what I can bring to their company personally and professionally.
I'm a professional web site developer, I have been for eleven years now and it is a profession that I love. Over the years I've worked on a number of large sites for many clients: Summerfest, Kohler Company and the Whistling Straits golf course, Corpfin.Net, WhuddleWorld, The Milwaukee Zoological Society, Agnesian Health Care and many others. I am always striving to improve my skill set and stay on top of this fast growing field.
I consider myself a renaissance web developer. As the field has become more and more specialized I like to keep abreast of all aspects of web site design from the servers to where it is listed on Google. The majority of what I do entails taking artistic concepts and client requirements and transferring them to the medium of the web. If I were to pick one area of specialization it would be that of web applications development, writing the scripts and databases that allow a web site to do more than be a simple presentation and more of a user experience. I do HTML and CSS by hand for fun.
