Work History
In 1998, I started making websites. And never stopped.
At age 17, I started Neat Focus to become a freelance interface designer. With a tiny team of heavy-hitters, I’ve helped small businesses, bootstrapped teams, venture capital funded startups and Fortune 500 50 corporations.
School History
I cut nearly every class in middle school and high school. To pass the time, some talented friends & I collaborated on writing, building websites, recording radio shows, and shooting videos.
Due to a lack of money and an abundance of stubbornness, I skipped college and started a business. See Work History.
