About

I am a web designer and writer living in the Pittsburgh area, and I cover a broad range of topics here, from philosophy and theology to libertarianism to music to fiction. This site was at some point a platform for almost exclusively writing but has since strayed from the path into more personal interests.

I have written for Buzzgrinder and Noisecreep. Back in the day when websites were printed or photocopied onto paper and called “zines”, I wrote for a few of those as well.

My real job is doing software development at PNC Bank. I started doing front-end web design on a freelance basis back when HTML tables were the norm and CSS was just a strange acronym.

Music
I’ve been a part of a few bands in the past. In chronological order:

• Concrete
• Sparkle Blue
• Life In Your Way (free download here – very early material)
• StillQuietSilence (free download here)

Writing

• Bored in the Breakroom
• A compilation of flash fiction stories. Free download. More formats here.
• A Native’s Story
• A short story booklet that I wrote for my church as a fundraiser. Art and layout by Kevin. It’s free but any donations go to eat-art.org.

Web Design
I’ve delivered over 50 websites since I began designing over a decade ago. Few of them are currently active:

• Hot Metal Studio
• VFW Post 92
