About me

Hi! I am an experienced graphic designer/web developer/marketing nerd with exceptional knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as front-end development languages. My free time is spent learning new programming languages. My current learning path is focused on Vue.JS and modern front-end development.

Outside of work, I spend my time playing softball, watching cartoons, fishing, and making music. I'm an easygoing guy with a good sense of humor, and am currently polishing my act for upcoming stand-up comedy open mic nights.

I am passionate about sharing knowledge and learning by teaching others. I often host workshops to empower small business owners with the tools and skills to build better brands. I love random acts of kindness and pay it forward whenever I have the means to do so.

I seek to surround myself with mentors and peers that push me to exceed my best daily, and inspire me through next stage in my career.

My Skills

I love working with new front-end technologies and am currently enjoying JAMStack development. I am highly proficient in the entire Adobe Creative Suite and am up to date with all of the new features and applications in Creative Cloud. Other tools I frequently use include HTML5, CSS3, Sass, Vue, Nuxt, Vuetify, Bootstrap, Foundation 6+, WordPress, Acrobat, MS Office, email marketing, analytics tools(Google Analytics, HubSpot, Marketo, HotJar Insights), YouTube, CRM and PMS software(Basecamp, Podio), Prezi, and WooCommerce.
