Personal stuff
I live in a small town in Northeast Ohio in the United States of America. I am married to a wonderful woman, Karen, and have one puppy dog, Cosmo, to call my own. I am a Seventh-Day Adventist.
Professional Stuff
I have been working professionally on the web since 2001. I specialize in valid, semantic and accessible HTML, CSS, WordPress and Java/JSP development. I graduated from the University of Akron with a MBA in corporate finance and international business. I am currently employed by the The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company doing nothing related to my degree. Currently, my work revolves around designing client/server applications and web pages for use internal to Goodyear. This is accomplished using AllFusion Plex, System i, and Java/JSP pages. I advocate for web standards, the users and good project management.Note that any opinions expressed on this site are my personal opinions, and not necessarily shared by my employer.
