- About Me -
I am passionate about creating valid, standards-compliant web sites and applications. I believe that less is usually more and white space can speak volumes.
I have a bachelors of science in computer science, and have devoted my career to web design & development.
In my spare time, I like to play golf, snowboard, and dabble in photography (particularly HDR).
In the words of Jeffrey Zeldman:
Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.
