About

Creative director and technical lead with experience in all aspects of the development process. Specializing in both web and iPhone applications, I have advanced knowledge in Objective-C / Cocoa Touch (iPhone/iPad), Ruby on Rails and PHP. My goal is to continue to push boundaries by developing innovative and cutting edge applications.

I was the Head of Engineering for ArtistData (used by over 25,000 artists to help manage their social media), which was recently acquired by SonicBids. I am now the Creative Director and frequent iPhone developer at Vokal Interactive, working on large scale iPhone and mobile applications. When I’m not working on projects, I’m spending time with my girlfriend Bethany, or making trips home to visit my family in Quincy, IL.
