Web and Database Developer and Overall Geek

Pixels — Pages — Pictures

I’m a highly experienced web developer who has worked in the corporate and government sectors. Now, I’m working for the best sectors of all: small business and non-profit.

Able to dream in C# and SQL, I’ve built many database-driven web applications. Some were used by a few people at a single location. Others were used by specialized audiences across the globe. Still, I’m a big fan of WordPress as a content management system on which to build affordable, easy-to-manage sites.

In addition to programming, I’ve been known to write a manual or twelve. I’ve also been a blogger, written press releases and white papers, and created some fiction. I’m currently working on my latest blog creation, Chronically Zen.

My newest venture is SPoT: the stock photography of things. No smiling ladies eating salad. Just nice pictures of things I run into in my everyday life.

Decide that, hey, I’d like to work with small businesses and non-profits, helping them affordably create a presence on the web.

Web Development

I have created websites professionally since 1993, starting with flat HTML files created in vi. Now I develop C#/.NET and database-driven websites, as well as sites (like this one) using WordPress, a robust, industry-standard CMS/blogging platform. Let me help you build a new website or enhance your current one.

Database Development

There is beauty in a well-designed database and the order it can bring to information. If you need help bringing order to your data chaos, contact me for a personalized quote.

Writing and Editing

Need a manual for your new app? Updated content for your website? Or a few pithy press releases? I've done all of the above and more. Contact me to tell me about your project needs, and I'll create a custom quote just for you.

Stock Photography

What is SPoT, the stock photography of things? No smiling ladies eating salad, or even people. I create stock photography from objects I encounter in everyday life. My photography will be available for licensing on Creative Market.
