About Me

I’m a web developer with a background in education, design, and systems thinking. I create clean, functional websites that help mission-driven individuals and organizations share what they do — and why it matters.

My work includes:

  • Custom web design for nonprofits, executive coaches, school districts, food businesses, and more

  • Strategic branding and content design grounded in your goals

  • Modern, maintainable development — so you can manage your site or rely on me for support

Before web development, I served in the Air Force and Air National Guard, taught middle school math, and led tech initiatives in public education. Originally from a small town in Michigan, I now split my time between design and raising two amazing boys (plus our dog, Remi, and cat, Bernie).

Whether you're starting fresh or evolving your brand, I help clarify your message and build a site that works — and feels like you.
