I help build websites and communities - often at the same time.
I built my first website in 1996 and I still wake up thinking about building them.
I heart the Open Web.
I geek out on web design & development, accessibility, user experience, cooking and games.
I use vi to code, an electric scooter to get to work, and my powers for awesome.
