About

Skills and Education

I have been in the computer, graphic design, and internet industry for 30 years, acquiring a vast knowledge of both the backend technologies and the front-end production techniques used to produce today's most effective tools, applications, and advertising media. I have often pioneered new products and techniques in order to accomplish the tasks at hand, and insure I deliver the best possible solution for my clients.

I am skilled in hardware, software, design, production, and management. Aside from a creative and clear product vision, I would say that my greatest asset is my ability to adapt, and to learn or create from scratch the required technologies for each project to help it reach its fullest potential. And though I definitely think outside of the box, I consistently follow the trends of the industry and, with an open mind, attempt to predict areas that are lacking or are in need of improvement for either the user or the developer. I have also, for these reasons, been awarded Birmingham's "Top 40 Under 40" Award and am a proud recipient of a prestigious ADDY Award from The American Advertising Federation.
