Bio

A few things that helped shape who I am today.

  1. Photo of me as a baby.

    I was born on my mother's 30th birthday. What are the odds?

  2. Photo of me playing soccer as a kid.

    Growing up, my parents involved me in a lot of organized sports. I played a little of everything, but got a heavy dose of soccer and hockey.

  3. A Street Fighter 2 screen.

    Early 90's rock. NY Rangers win The Stanley Cup. Street Fighter II. The early 90's were my favorite moment in pop culture.

  4. Marist College rotunda.

    I attended Marist College in NY. I began in Computer Science, but after a year of software programming I changed majors to graphics and design. I graduated in four years despite the switch.

  5. Screenshot of CSS Zen Garden's first theme.

    I discovered CSS Zen Garden and taught myself advanced CSS. I started working more off hours and my job started to become a hobby.

  6. Sara and Ted smiling.

    I met a girl. One that makes me a better person and whom I consider my intellectual superior. Sara and I began dating.

  7. Photo of Red Rock State Park in Sedona, Arizona.

    Sara and I moved to Arizona and earned post-grad degrees. I (finally) learned to question tradition and everything in my life started falling into place.

  8. Screenshot of email code in a code editor.

    I continued to grow as a designer / developer hybrid, but also got pretty good at designing and coding HTML emails. I also began tinkering with website performance.

  9. Sara and Ted's wedding.

    After three years in Arizona, Sara and I moved back to New Jersey, bought a house, and tied the knot. My best friend is now my partner for life.

  10. Front of the Canfield Scientific building.

    I landed a job as a designer at Canfield Scientific, a biotechnology & pharmaceutical company in New Jersey. I spent my days building web products in an industry that sorely needs thoughtful design.

  11. Photo of Sebastian as a baby.

    Our first child, Sebastian, arrives! We're still getting the hang of the whole parenting thing…

  12. My young family.

    Wren, our second child, arrives just before year's end. We're now a family of four.

  13. Stack Overflow decorative graphic.

    I joined Stack Overflow's design team, where I work on products that help millions of developers worldwide while working remotely on a distributed product team.

  14. Stack Overflow design system homepage.

    Amidst my regular product work, I contributed to our design system and led the creation of one of the first email design systems.

  15. Me speaking at a conference.

    I spoke at a few conferences, mentored a designer on my team, and leaned into the "leadership" part of my role.
