UI/UX Designer & Developer

Over the past 15 years, I have been designing and developing websites and web apps that engage users and exceed customer expectations.

I live in York, Maine with my wife and two kids. Beyond spending time with family and my passion for design and development, I love to travel, hike, paint, and surf.
