« Back to our whole team

Originally from Findlay, Ohio, I moved up to Toledo to achieve my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My interest in technology started at a young age; dissembling my video games to make repairs, my motto was “if it’s not broke, open it up and fix it.” Throughout college I learned various programming languages, hardware skills, and developed a passion to learn about all sorts of computer related inventions.

Starting my career as a computer hardware expert half-way through college, I fixed/built/customized/upgraded countless computers. There came a time when building computers became too boring for me, so I moved on to programming. Web design and development stuck out the most in my eyes; I enjoy seeing well designed pages that stand out, things you will remember a day or 2 later. So I focused all my energy on learning all the popular tricks and tools. I quickly learned how to create Ecommerce websites, blogging sites, and to use API implementations (like powering a website with Google Maps, Code Igniter, and more). I constantly improve my knowledge of search engine optimization, and work to improve these SEO skills. I had been experienced with tinkering in Photoshop for years, which finally paid off when I could now use the program to creat snazzy graphic designs for websites.

In my free time, I enjoy rollerblading at various skate parks across the nation. Spinning, grinding, and flying over ramps; my friends and I find thrills in ways other people consider dangerous. Never the less, it is a great way to build character, stay in shape, and progress to achieve harder tricks every time I put my skates on.

I am constantly learning new methods to improve my work, and consider myself a jack of all trades. If a technology is out there, I will get my hands on it, and learn how to use it. I plan to become a better web designer and developer as time goes on. If you want a fresh looking website, I would love to build it. Guaranteed, I will give it my all.
