Web Developer, Author, Trainer, Adobe

New York City

I’m that mellow, friendly but kinda quiet guy who loves to learn all things tech — and so, 15 years ago, when I made my first stab at creating web sites, soaking my brain in what was then the newest, most cutting edge version of HTML — I was hooked.

And once I got into this world, things kind of just kept coming to me, so I became an Adobe Certified Instructor, and have spent all these years training designers, marketing pros, business owners, front end developers, really anyone who wants to create awesome, professional print design, web sites, and content — all over the country.

It’s a great group of people to work with, kind of that right-brain left-brain mind meld, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to speak at many of the industry’s top events — like Adobe MAX, the How Interactive Design Conference, the Web Design Conference, the InDesign Conference, and a bunch more.

I also work with design and production teams at advertising agencies, design firms, plus a long list of diverse companies, including Adobe, Nordstrom, REI, Costco, Starbucks, HP, McGrawHill — the list goes on.

It’s really been — and continues to be — a great ride.
