I began my career designing promotional flyers for my bands, and then moved on to print advertising and compact discs for companies such as Atlantic Records, Universal Music and Pony Canyon (Japan).

After landing a job as creative director in television production, I began building websites and dabbling in motion graphics and editing; my love for web design soon took over and I began creating websites full-time.

Right around the time the Apple TV was launched I created tagChimp: a user-contributed web service which allowed desktop and mobile applications to connect via API and upload/download meta tags and cover art for movies and TV shows. Before tagChimp was retired it was receiving over 300,000 API hits per day and had over 26,000 registered members.

I'm currently maintaining Formr, a PHP micro-framework which helps you build and validate forms quickly, easily, and without all the messy overhead.
