About

I'm a skilled interactive designer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With nearly 20 years of experience in web design and development and an excellent play ethic, I'm enthusiastic about creating interactive experiences that are both enjoyable and helpful. In my free time I enjoy bouldering, watching movies, reading great books, cooking delicious food, and exploring mother nature.

Question + Answer

What do you mean by an "excellent play ethic?"

It was way back in the year 2000 for a band I was in. The tool I used was called Cool Edit Pro 2000.
