My Beginnings

In 1971, two people kissed. This caused abdominal swelling. Nine months later, I decided to introduce myself and see if I could help.

I was able to significantly reduce the swelling, pain, and other serious side effects, and she eventually made a full recovery. She was so grateful that she started referring to me as her son.

Moral of the story? I’m a problem solver, and I’m on your side. Also, kissing can be dangerous.

 

Welcome to the World Wide Web

My introduction to programming started early — with a Texas Instruments computer and a cassette tape used to save code.

Since then, I’ve built everything from simple websites to custom applications, including shopping carts, scheduling systems, and data-driven platforms.

If it needs to exist on the web, I can build it — or figure out how.

Today, I work as a technical partner for designers, agencies, and businesses — handling the coding, problem-solving, and behind-the-scenes work that keeps projects running smoothly.

I’ve been building websites and applications professionally since 2005, and freelancing since 2007. Many of the people I’ve worked with over the years still send projects my way today.

 

Error-Eliminating Grammar Ninja (because Precision Matters)

Small errors can quietly undermine trust. Typos, awkward phrasing, and inconsistent messaging can turn a strong website into one that feels unfinished. With a background in publishing and years of proofreading experience, I help ensure your content is clear, polished, and professional.

It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.

Errors are easy to make, and they can turn a prospective customer, client, or user into someone who closes your site never to return. Let’s work together to make sure your website copy is pristine and makes you stand out from the error-haunted crowd.

 

Human Communication

Whether it’s written or spoken, communication works best when it feels human.

I’ve written and voiced presentations for years, and I understand how tone, emphasis, and delivery shape how a message is received. Whether using my own voice or modern tools, I focus on making sure your message connects.

Let’s work together to raise your content out of the vast sea of voices and elevate your presentations to the realm of human connections, ones that motivate your audience to take the actions you’ve worked so hard to inspire.

 

Writing Better with AI (and Without It)

I use AI tools like ChatGPT to jump-start ideas and speed up early drafts, but the real work happens in refinement.

AI can generate words, but it often misses nuance, tone, and intent. I reshape and edit everything to ensure the final result feels natural, clear, and genuinely human.

Sometimes AI gets close. Sometimes it needs heavy rewriting. And sometimes it’s better not to use it at all. Knowing the difference is part of the process.

And just so you know, this section probably wasn’t written by AI… but it definitely wasn’t written without it.

 

Music Makes Everything Better

Going further back in time, I was around four years old when the previously-bloated lady I mentioned earlier, whom I’ve come to know and love as Mom, bought me a small keyboard. And I started picking out melodies.

A couple of years later, my grandmother bought us a piano. I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

I’m six years old, taking a nap in my mother’s bed when the sounds of piano music rouse me from my slumber. I stumble into the living room. And there I see a piano. Where did that come from? And it’s playing all by itself! Is it being played by a ghost? Am I still asleep? Such a funny feeling, as I’m sure you can imagine. I feel excited, perplexed, and more than a little bit in awe.

It was a player piano with paper scrolls full of carefully-placed rectangular holes designed to tell the piano what notes to play. But while that was entertaining enough to watch, I was more interested in creating my own music, and I quickly taught myself how to play.

Jumping forward to today, I can easily play whatever I hear or imagine. I’ve written dozens of songs, and recorded almost as many. You can find a small handful of them here.

Whether you wrote a song you’d like recorded, you wrote lyrics and want them set to music, or you’d like original background music to perfectly reflect and compliment your video or audio creations, let’s work together to create something you’ll be proud to call your own, something that will make you stand out from the crowd.
