In 1997, with my background in programming and continued interest in digital art, I learned HTML 4, CSS and some JavaScript to become a web developer.
Doctors Office Network became my first Web client. Shortly after, I joined MacTemps and
worked as a digital production artist for companies around South Florida, which included developing the Rampage web site in 2000 for the
advertising agency Courtney & Watson.
In 2000, I joined Curious Networks, a Chicago startup, as their web
developer and digital artist. In the fall of 2001, at the same time the dotcom bubble burst and funding dried up,
I became a new stay-at-home dad. Since then I've been developing Web sites for small businesses, including my wife's dental
practice(s), while performing various office duties as needed, and have been the primary caregiver for our daughter, now 17.
