Full Stack Web Developer and Graphic Designer
Starting life as the son of an auto mechanic in a small northwest Missouri town, most people thought I was destined for a life repairing vehicles like my father. While I enjoy restoring classic muscle cars in my personal life, including my prized 1968 Pontiac GTO, I knew the world held something more and made it my mission to get out of my hometown and strive for something better. I initially started my professional career in architectural and manufacturing design, working on many high-profile design projects over the years, including a massive expansion to St. Francis Children’s Hospital in Tulsa, OK, the restoration/renovation of the Central Missouri State University field house, and redesigning the ornamental railing systems in Kansas City’s historic Bartel Hall.
I have always been extremely goal-oriented with the ability to absorb technology quickly, as well as being able to develop creative solutions with an eye for artistic design. So, after two decades of designing building elements, I decided it was time to bet on myself and follow my passion for technology and design. With my extensive problem-solving skills, knack for graphic design, and my expertise in audio engineering and videography, full stack web development just seems like the perfect place utilize the entirety of my ever-expanding skillset, and a logical progression for me professionally.
