About: I am a web strategist and entrepreneur with a strong belief in cutting out complexity, doing away with “extras” and turning a blind eye to “feature rich” in favor of clarity and simplicity. Doing “better” rather than doing “more”.
I am ridiculously passionate about building web-based businesses and apps. I have worked in the web world since 1994 and never enjoyed it more than I do right now. These days I help startups get off the ground and more established companies take their next step.
In the works right now is a book, a new agency venture, and a few other things.
