About Me

A Bit About Me

Born in Pennsylvania, I spent my youth in the Pacific Northwest, mostly Washington state and northern Idaho, before returning east for college — first at Williams and then at the University of Pennsylvania.

I’ve worked in the web design, development and online marketing fields for over 20 years as a Web designer, developer, project manager, department director, freelance consultant, founder and all around “web guy.”

I also have involvements in online publishing particularly in the “open-access” academic arena. My largest effort was as founder and Editor-in-Chief of Other Voices: The eJournal of Cultural Criticism, an award-winning scholarly publication affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania.
