Greetings... I am currently employed as a Web Producer at Lowepro in Sonoma County California. This dynamic company has embarked on a long-term web development campaign with a heavy emphasis on brand identity and rich media marketing. In the past months I have delved deeper into open source platforms with an emphasis on high-impact pages with quick development times. This magic is mainly done by leveraging the immense resource in current generation jQuery applications, Video Delivery Networks and other countless utilities, themes, skins, widgets and plugins that developers work so hard to make.

In my experience as a web developer and I.T. professional, it has not been often that I have actually taken the time to build a site for myself. However, in reflecting on the point I have reached in my career, I came to realize that this site should be undertaken for three reasons. The first and most obvious purpose is to showcase the depth and range of my work over the past 15 years. The second is to serve as a "waypoint" or personal retrospective as I move forward in my career. Finally, this is a simple exercise in start to finish design and development as reference for my template development style.

Most Recent Work:

• www.lowepro.com ModX/LAMP CMS development and template design with custom jQuery, video, RSS feeds, blogs, forums and much more yet to come
• optics.lowepro.com
  A WordPress micro-site to launch a new product line by Lowepro. jQuery sliders, video and photo lightboxes, multilingual CMS, custom design templates
• Lowepro on Facebook | Only the beginning of Social Media development and enhancement

Over the past 15 + years I have been in positions that have required the wearing of many hats. As a "key-person" in several start-ups and smaller to medium-sized enterprises I found myself consistently (and simultaneously) working in three distinct but interrelated areas; graphic design, application/database development and project management.
