I was born in a small Nebraska town, but spent the next 17 years of my life in Hays, Kan. In 2001, I moved to Manhattan to attend Kansas State University.
Originally I was majoring in computer science, but a few boring classes and bad grades later, I was studying print journalism.
In 2006, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Print Journalism and Mass Communications. (I decided foreign language classes were much more interesting than math.)
Although I had a legitimate interest in magazine writing and design, websites were always the source of my passion. Over the years I’ve had several different iterations of websites, including a once-very popular Jamie Pressly fansite.
Currently, I’m the Web Team Leader at K-State’s Division of Continuing Education.
Having dealt with too many table-based websites to count, I have become very interested in web standards and am an espouser of accessibility compliance.
Although I like dogs, I am a cat-person and currently have three cats—Furball, Kiki and Ninja (only Ninja is mine).
Hire me
Although I have a full-time job, I’m always open to the right freelance job or other great opportunity.

The site is built using web standards, and should validate as HTML5, although I will not guarantee that every page validates. It was built on a 960 grid, not quite the 960 grid system.
This site is powered by WordPress, which I started using for the first time and am really liking it.
Although this is a personal website, I try to ensure maximum accessibility.
Arial is the default typeface for the majority of the website with Georgia used sparingly for some headings. Dieter Steffmann’s Kleist-Fraktur is used for the logo.
