A large majority of my professional experience was built in the world of the web with a focus on functional design and user interface development for interactive websites and applications.

I have been fortunate to have worked with clients from a wide range of industries from small businesses to large corporations to government, lending skills to a multitude of challenging projects. Some of my past clients and work include: Government of Alberta, University of British Columbia, Royal Alberta Museum, Big Rock Breweries, Natural Resource Board of Canada, and Booster Juice restaurants.

In 2007, I founded Pixel Savvy, a creative and web company. In this undertaking I plan to stay firmly true to my core values—solving intrinsic problems through the use of technology and working with teams of amazing and gifted individuals.

In a former life I was a musician and self-proclaimed “rock star”, spending much of my time touring, recording, writing and other unmentionable shenanigans.

Presently I reside in sunny Kelowna British Columbia enjoying time with my family, snowboarding, hiking, biking and occasionally trekking into the back yard garden.
