A little about me...  

Welcome to my site. This is my home, playground and laboratory on the web. This site is meant to showcase my skills as a developer and as a placeholder for my identity on the web. It is built with Coldfusion and cfwheels.

My wife and I at a wedding.

I am a lead web developer by day and entrepreneur by night. I live, eat and breathe the web and am fascinated by all of it's potential. I seek to help cultivate new and exciting user experiences. I also enjoy creating new ideas for web software and creating web branding, consulting, and development opportunities. I have a vast wealth of experience in creating content managed, multilingual commerce applications and immersive flash experiences.

I am a core team member of the cfwheels framework. I feel blessed and honored to be in the company of such great people and love working to improve and evolve the framework.

As hobbies, I enjoy personal fitness and personal finance. I love being able to set goals in my personal life and attaining them. I have been lucky enough to be able to be a part of the advisory board of a great new site Debt Goal. They are helping their users pay down their debt and I am really glad to see a site like this exist. They have even been so kind to have published some of my thoughts on personal finance.
