About Me
Biography
My love for multimedia started as a hobby which I am grateful to have been able to turn into a career. I started using basic HTML as soon as my family purchased our first personal computer and haven't stopped. I have become a jack of many trades along the way and a master of few. My favorite toys usually involve flash, audio and video work.
I opened a production studio while in college that was used primarily for audio recording and post-production work. As the owner and chief engineer I worked on a number of projects recording bands, singers and musicians.
While working in the music industry I was also able to pick-up occasional design work doing websites, CD layouts and promotional materials. Then I was able to have the chance to work on various websites and marketing for local businesses. I've been hired for large and small projects such as:
- Flash-based websites and banner ads
- Printed business cards and flyers
- Custom flash widgets (video players, interactive content)
- Video editing
- Voice-over recording
Take a look at the portfolio section for some examples.

Paul Chandler Electric
Flash WebsiteLocal electrician Paul Chandler hired me to do this flash based website. He wanted something to "wow" his potential customers so we went with the flash platform. The website features a flashing lightbulb and testimonials from a few of his past clients
From the client...
My small business needed a presence on the web and this website is a great start for me. Having my phone number in the yellow pages just doesn't cut it these days and now customers can find me on the web and be impressed when they get there.
Maggots Video Player
Flex YouTube PlayerThis video player needed to be placed in a CMS that didn't have much real estate for a thumbnail menu. The goal was to create a player that used a dropdown menu to select videos that are defined in an XML file. I got to show off my developer skills here by using Flex Builder to create the player and use the YouTube API to load in the movies using actionscript.
Side note from me...
The videos are a "highlight reel" (or in our case blooper reel) of my baseball team. The videos are also an example of using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier.
nc4yc.org
Joomla! WebsiteThe National Center for Youth in Custody (NC4YC) website was a project I got the privelege of overseeing the full development of. The site is built using the Joomla! open source content management system and leverages a number of Joomla! extensions.
Side note from me...
The National Center for Youth in Custody needed this website at a low entry cost so that it could be expanded as the center grew with additional funding.
Various Flyers
Photoshop & Indesign LayoutHere is a gallery of some various different flyers I have done. Flyers I've done for people include post cards, brochures and posters.
Side note from me...
I love doing flyers as there is usually a bit more creative freedom to work with.
