Hi folks.

I have been working in the industry for over 11 years now. Started making my first web apps back in the day with VBScript (secure enough in my coding abilities to admit that) and now I’m a full time freelancer running my own show in Boulder, CO making the internet a better place one day at a time.

I first cut my teeth working for a boutique agency in Chicago while going to school at Columbia College of Chicago for Interactive Multimedia. Working in a small agency for so many years put me in a place where I became a jack of all trades. After leaving the city for much greener pastures in Boulder, I took a job as a security engineer where I primarily did a lot of consulting and systems engineering for some pretty big organizations.

While working as a security engineer I did some freelance on the side. On the side quickly turned into a nice little business. I knew it was time to move on and start my own gig. Left my day job and have been as busy as hell ever since doing the sort of work that makes me happy and makes my clients happy!

Don’t get it twisted though... I don’t just sit in front of a screen. I didn’t move across the US because the rent is cheaper. I’m a cycling junkie and race for the local Vitamin Cottage Cycling Team. I’m also into anything that involves getting out in the mountains and having some fun, human powered of course.
