I play a critical role in the thinking, planning and production of complex web systems for corporate, education and non-profit clients.
With nearly twenty years of design and programming experience, I help bridge the gap between information technology and interface usability.
During my tenure at a local university, I won national awards for software solutions in the higher education and presented work at national conferences. The software and solutions that were developed have been used at hundreds of institutions nationwide. I continue to offer guidance and new solutions to that community of users.
While working at a local interactive firm, I developed sites and solutions for many local, national and international companies and organizations.
On a personal note, I am married to my high school sweetheart and have two young boys who show an aptitude for technology and art just as I have. My family and I have attended worship services at Foothills Church in El Cajon since 1997 and continue to be active in ministry and church activities.

I was responsible for developing applications that are used by various departments across campus. Projects included graphical design and user interface updates to a web-based application portal that manipulated University data from Informix and SQL databases. On occasion, I taught classroom technology for Graduate-level classes. In a previous position, I developed a front-end to a computerized maintenance system that was implemented by the software vendor and presented at their annual conferences. I also developed a web-based system for display of faciltiies information derived from AutoCAD and static blueprints.

Majoring in Graphic communications consisted of art and design coursework coupled with courses in business and communications. Guided study was provided and my area of research was User Interface design and Usability.
Working with different men's ministries has provided me an opportunity to speak into other men's lives and provide insight into Christian manhood. Personal experiences and prayer make this a possibility and provides a sense of credibility. Listening and guiding men towards personal growth is the primary focus of the ministries I am involved in. By opening myself up to listen to others, I have also gained the trust and confidence needed to lead them in the right direction.
Youth LeadershipAs a youth leader for junior high school students for over 4 years has given me a chance to reach to young men and help them grow into faithful servants. It is a servant-leadership style that allows me to continue to affect these young men. This ministry has also led to my personal growth by developing disciplines that may otherwise have not become a part of my life. I attribute my success as a youth leader to love, kindness and most of all patience.
Jim has been a source of knowledge over the years, but also a confidant that has provided personal guidance. He was also the chair of the University's technology committee, allowing a close working relationship with regards to emerging technologies and its support for classroom use in education.
I have spent many years in the company of Dave. We competed together at a national level in Junior Olympic hockey; both went on to professional athletic careers and have developed our professional and personal lives building on one another's strengths.
Milton is a friend from church that was introduced to me while working on a technology project for a youth center. Since that time, he has become a close friend, sharing our life stories as well as using our professional skills to aid in the development of systems at our respective workplaces.
