Bio
"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced." - Soren Kierkegaard
My principal professional interests are HTML 5, CSS 3, web accessibility, and web site performance.
Current and previous clients and employers span a wide variety of fields and include:
Bank of America, Blue Cross, The Christian Science Monitor, CVS, ESPN, Fidelity Investments, Hasbro, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Intuit, Liberty Mutual, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Safeway, and Subway Restaurants
When I'm not working, I'm drinking coffee, studying history, thinking about the physics of time travel, jumping out of planes, or riding something with two wheels.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, I occasionally work in the rest of the universe via the glory of telecommuting.
