Proud to be co-founder and Director of Community Development of this amazingly wimpy organization. I'm a firm believer in the strength and skill of the North Bay's web and media industries and will forever be an advocate of continued education, skill building, and the mission to bring public awareness and higher perceived value to our careers.
I'm owner and all-hat wearing designer/developer at New Skin Media, a web design firm focusing on developing high quality sites primarily for professional photographers. There, I develop sites primarily on SmugMug and WordPress. I have been loving hosting "Mentoring Sessions" for my clients, where I build a custom site from the ground up in one 8 to 10 hour day!
I am also Lead Designer for a colab project with fellow Wimps James Marshall Berry and Cole Geissinger called Wine & the Web. There, we build sites for small wineries all over the country and bring them affordable access to eCommerce. We build on a combination of WordPress multi-site and Vin65.
