Background
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a fascination with building things and understanding what makes something work. At West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Web Design, I developed a respect for art in all forms, but also developed a passion to apply design skills to my technical background. This would be the beginning of a challenging yet rewarding journey of designing and building websites I enjoy continuing to venture on today.
Now with over 10 years of professional experience in internet marketing and website design and development, my passion is to develop top quality websites that provide optimal user experiences and help clients achieve real results.
Philosophy
The one thing that I know for sure is that you can only do great work if you love what you do. Being a designer has its challenges, but that is precisely what excites me when I wake up each morning! The toughest days of troubleshooting or brainstorming become lessons learned throughout this pursuit of mastering my craft. Design is never perfect; it is a constant refinement of what we already know and what we imagine. My process in the field of website design and online marketing is to gain an understanding of how a client’s business works and envision a more elegant concept.
As for my own personal and professional growth, I strongly believe that integrity, hard work and sacrifice leads to success, and each experience bears a lesson to be learned.
Work & Personal
Currently as Creative Director of Trighton Interactive, I’m responsible for managing and executing all phases of design and development for internal and client websites, hosting solutions, branding and additional marketing materials. My forte in strategic planning allows smooth and successful collaboration with Trighton’s Orlando SEO and Content Development experts as well as the clients themselves.
I’m a Philadelphia native (and sports fan!), but currently reside in Orlando, Florida with my wife Erica and our Westie-dog, Pascal. I have a lot to be thankful for and I couldn’t be more excited for where this journey of personal and professional growth will take me!

Awards & Recognition
In my previous position at Elite SEM, a New York based Search Engine Marketing Agency, I accomplished my goals as Senior Creative Manager by building and managing client websites, as well as all creative materials for the company. After building the new company website, their blog quickly gained traction and was shortlisted by the 2013 U.S. Search Awards as one of the best blogs in the industry.
My experience continues at Trighton Interactive, where I collaborated directly with executive teams at top marketing agencies to produce customized designs for print, online and social media. I currently specialize in SEO friendly Responsive Web Design for the WordPress platform focusing on conversion optimization and lead generation. I am both proud and humbled to have received numerous “Best-In-Class” awards by the Interactive Media Awards and Web Awards for these responsive websites.
