Since leaving the corporate technology world in 2006, I’ve sought projects and clients that allow me to unleash my passion for technology. Teaching has become a cornerstone of my service base because I enjoy that “ah ha!” moment when people see how to make computers and the web work for them.
Contact me with interesting projects that focus on human empowerment through technology.

The site focuses on website development, blogging, SEO strategy, Google Analytics and a variety of web based tools to run your business.
