In the media

A short video I starred in along with several of my coworkers at my current gig as a contractor at Microsoft with the Office 365 team.

What I do

From program management to interactive design through development and testing, I frequently have wanted to wear many hats in my career. Although my main passion is Interactive Design, I like to be engaged at every level of the creative process and I am always interested in new ideas and curious about how things work. I believe that in order to make a great project one should have some familiarity with the different disciplines of the process.

Currently I am working on the Microsoft Office 365 team as a contractor at Microsoft. I love turning napkins sketches into compelling usable solutions and products, minus the ketchup stains of course.

About me

I live in Redmond, Washington with my family, enjoying the mountain views, lakes, blueberry fields, and salmon runs. Before relocating to the Pacific Northwest, I spent a few years in the Lone Star State. Over the last 10 years my professional career has been working with small-businesses and large multi-nationals as a direct employee, contractor, and freelance professional.

Outside of the world of computers and design my secondary passion includes music and travel photography. If I am not attending a J. S. Bach recitial, I can usually be found outdoors, on the road, with camera and tripod in hand sporting a grin from ear to ear.
