The Man
Behind the Work

I'm a husband, a father, a grandfather, an instructor, and a neighbor — trying to do well in those roles. Twenty-five years in a classroom teaching English and History all while raising my family transformed me in wonderful ways. The ability to put several pieces of one's life together in the midst of challenges is priceless and provides wisdom that I can give back to the next generation.

I am new to web design — and I say that honestly, because honesty is the only foundation worth building on. But here is what I bring that no veteran designer can manufacture: a lifetime of reading the great books, teaching history, listening to how humans tell their stories, and learning what makes a message land. When I read a client's situation, I hear it the way an English teacher hears a student's first draft — I know quickly what the story is, what it needs, and how to build something that honors it.

When I built my first website, it was another in a series of good risks I began to take upon becoming a grandfather. That website was received well, providing me with the confidence to continue with other projects. Fitness taught me discipline. Scripture taught me purpose. Teaching taught me how to communicate. All of it shows up in the work.

The reason for the good risks.
