watching the #wordpress irc channel is either hilarious or tragic, depending on your outlook.

He's also a Web developer, musical hobbyist, snowboarder, car junkie, amateur photographer, coffee addict, and pretty nice guy, though he can't stand people who talk about themselves in the third person...
So, I live in the 'burbs around Washington, DC with my soon-to-be wife Andrea. I currently work as a senior web developer & consultant with the obscenely talented folks at nclud.
I'm into standards & accessibility, PHP, CodeIgniter, Rails and Ajax, and dream of one day freelancing full-time. If you've got a project or gig and want to see what 5 years of professional Web production experience and a decade of avid Web consumerism can do for it, drop me a line and say hi. If you're not quite sold, have a look at my resume, because I bet discovering that I can make a pdf will do the trick.

U.S. Army Homepage
In 2006, I participated in the rearchitecture and redesign of the Army's Homepage, to be tied into a new, collaborative CMS called the CORE.
- Client: United States Army
- Role: Collaborated on all phases of production
U.S. Army CORE
This custom CMS was built for the U.S. Army as a virtual newsdesk to enable Soldiers from around the world to upload, approve and publish content in real time.
- Client: United States Army
- Role: Architecture, database, team design and development
Wedding Website
I built this site in February of 2007 to keep family and friends informed about the details of my wedding, complete with online RSVP, Google-maps and recent news.
- Client: Self
- Role: All branding, design and development
Women in the U.S. Army
I collaborated with colleague Samantha Warren to create this interactive timeline on the history of Women's role in the Army, fed dynamically from an xml file.
- Client: United States Army
- Role: Development, some asset design
InConsequence.net
I built this site for some college buddies in a punk/metal band. It features page loads via ajax (at the behest of the integrated flash mp3 player), and a basic CMS.
- Client: InConsequence, a band
- Role: All branding, design and development
- Alas, they broke up, so this site is no longer maintained.
Army Outreach
My first PHP project, this site (now Army ComRel) was built to fulfill the Army's need for a public event calendar, as well as an interface to event organizers, authors and filmmakers wishing to use Army assets.
- Client: United States Army

Welcome Back to School!
Welcome Back to School was an initiative to recognize Soldiers returning to college after deployment. Provided a logo, I created this brochure within the parent site.

Eisenhower Series
This series of events brought together congressmen, foreign dignitaries, and senior Army leadership to discuss foreign policy. I built the 2005 site, as well as branding and print collateral.
