Upon being expelled from Gonzaga High School in December of senior year I became a high school drop-out; before that, aptitude tests reported I was best suited to be a farmer.
I'm at the sweet spot b/w Design + Data + Development: interactive graphic design; new media storytelling; data-driven APIs, maps, charts, galleries & timelines; custom WordPress; audio & video editing; more.
Museums & galleries; foundations; law firms; journalists; restaurants; thoroughbred stables; energy companies; pro rock bands, & many others.
It took me awhile to go digital – a penultimate apostasy - but I missed taking pictures. Check out how cheap-o cameras can create interesting work.
Mostly time-lapse & frame-by-frame experiments, some audio découpage too. I shot the imagery and composed the soundtracks and performed virtually all the music myself.
I cannot read or write a note of music — I taught myself by ear to play different instruments and to write songs in sundry styles & genres. These are some of my songs by different bands.
I threw out my television 30+ years ago leaving plenty of time for reading real books mostly based in the humanities. Average year of publication? 1972.
Musical instruments, computer screens, vinyl LPs, xrays & mannequins: this is a Collyer Mansion for hermited souls stashed between the obsolete and the cutting edge.
POPS is a WordPress-based genealogy and family history solution turning people, photos, stories, events, and other media into rich, interactive museum experiences.
I conceived, designed, and coded 100% of this cutting-edge project from scratch—a deep dive into WordPress featuring a handcrafted theme, original plugins, ACF content types, and purpose-built administrative interfaces for managing custom content and structured data entry.
Work included database migration; server setup & maintenance; user accounts; security; UI; front- and back-end design & coding; SEO; research; image processing, content entry, A/V editing, much more.

I've Been A Web Development & Graphic Design Professor Since 2004.
Since 1992, that's meant dropping out of modern culture, which has meant shunning its components as anethema.
I dropped television decades ago and eschewed social media from its birth.
Much of what I gave up were things I loved, see the list below.
That's left plenty of time for reading real books, mostly based in the humanities.
Generally, I enjoy books that most others would not consider, such as long out-of-print books mostly based in obscurities.
These are the books I’ve finished between January 2010 and today.
Average year of publication? 1971.
