a little about me.

I currently work full time as a Flash developer in New Hampshire. I went to Keene State College and got a bachelors degree in Applied Computer Science. I have two rabbits (Nora & Daisy) that hang out with me when I do freelance work. I also enjoy the outdoors and really love to play golf. Guess that covers the basics.

recent projects.

    Although it's not yet finished, I figured I would list my own site. I have done all of the design and programming for this site.

  • winnersneversleep.com

    This is going to be a WordPress based site. It's up now with a free theme. The new custom-coded theme should be launching soon.

  • gluemakesmusic.com

    I built the Flash for this site. It's incomplete, because the group has called it quits. So the site is at a stand-still for now.

what i do.

flash(demo site)coming soon

I have been a full-time flash developer for over two years. I have used ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3. I recently made the switch to AS3 for all my projects.

css/xhtml(demo site)coming soon

Ah, where it all began, hand coding entire sites. I have been building Web sites since 2001. Although the first couple were school projects, I've learned a lot since I built my first site. And with places like CSS-Tricks it's much easier to keep up to date. Yes, my first site was built with a table layout, but now it's all CSS layouts. The latest example of which is this site.

programming(ASP, PHP & JavaScript)

I've started using WordPress as a CMS, so I have had to pick up PHP. Where I work, now everything is done with ASP. JavaScript finds its way into almost every project from inserting Flash to more complicated AJAX setups. jQuery is what I have been using for a JavaScript library. I like its simplicity and ease of use.

design(just this site)

I am more of a code geek, but I try to keep up with the latest design trends on the Web. If you're looking for a designer, check out these guys: Wai Man Wong and Joe Vance.
