Hullah! I'm a philadelphia-based creative developer and designer, specializing in creating interactive solutions for a wide array of clients. While my primary focus is in flash, I maintain proficiency and interest in many other frameworks and languages.

about me
I am a happily married interactive developer, designer, sports fan, music aficionado and a genuine lover of life. I enjoy nice flash sites, the summer, the smooth grooves of Michael McDonald, a Phillies game, as well as spending Saturdays and Sundays watching footy and coding. Odds are, you've seen me doing the 'old man dance' at a club or wedding near you.

Trained at the Universities' Widener, where I graduated in 2002, and RIT where I graduated with a MFA in Computer Graphics Design in 2004, I've been working on my craft since before then, creating Tripod, Geocities and (gasp!) AOL community pages. My, how far we have come!

Currently, I'm working at the 1 Trick Pony in Hammonton, NJ, where I help to lead the interactive team in many things, from concepting, to prototyping, from designing to development. I work with designers, project managers and other developers to create kick-ass solutions for fantastic clients. I'm currently working primarily in Flash; however, I enjoy working with front-end technologies, as well as dabbling in mobile app design and development. New visions, ideas and challenges are fun too.

Oh, and how many developers do you know that have been interviewed by ESPN? Say'n...

Feel like dropping a line?
