2009
Started building for the web
Day one
The first time I got paid to build a website for an actual client. I started with a GoDaddy website builder, then found WordPress and spend hundreds of hours teaching myself how to code sites with WordPress.
NOW · OCTOBER 2026
What's on the bench.
BUILDING
Pool service software
Scheduling, quotes, and billing for pool crews. My brother runs a pool company, so he's my first critic.
CONSULTING
AI for home services
Helping local service companies swap the duct tape for tools that fit how they actually work.
THINKING ABOUT
The tools have changed. The fundamentals haven't.
Your business runs on workarounds? Let's fix that.
