I’m a creative technologist with nearly 30 years of experience, blending web development with a background in film, photography, and urban planning. I have a keen eye for design, a love of clear structure, and a knack for explaining complex technical ideas in plain language.

I’ve been building websites since the early days of the web. Today, I specialize in Drupal (7, 8, and beyond) and WordPress, and I also work with modern JavaScript tools—including React and component-based front-end workflows. I still enjoy coding in plain PHP when it makes sense, and I’m committed to crafting sites that are functional, elegant, and easy to maintain.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area since 1993, having moved from Western New York to attend graduate school. I hold a Master of Urban Planning from the University of Washington and a BA in Media Study from SUNY Buffalo.

Outside of client work, I continue to explore creative media projects. I’m currently developing a short documentary about the Compline Choir at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle. I also enjoy making observational videos—especially of trains—and maintain a small but proud YouTube channel focused on that work. These personal projects reflect the same care, patience, and storytelling that I bring to my web development practice.

I’m also a musician and photographer. I recently released an album with my band, Mysterious Face, and I’m continuing a photo series called Junk Drawers, which is exactly what it sounds like: a peek into the quiet archaeology of everyday life.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me with my wife of 35 years, our two adult daughters, our son-in-law, and our new grandchild. We share a love of coffee, cinema, and curiosity about the world.

I’m always open to new opportunities to put my skills to use on meaningful, well-crafted projects—digital or otherwise. If you’re curious about how I might support your work, let’s talk.
