I see so many websites with bad photography. If you're interested in my insight into this topic, check out my latest post.

Learn Why Website Photography is Important When it comes to getting your website built or if you’re building it yourself, most forget about photography. And in my opinion, you should be focusing just as much on your photography as you are on the actual website.

If you know me at all, you know that I have a passion for great coffee. So, here’s a quick story.

Over the summer I had a potential client reach out to me about a website for the coffee brand he was starting. Obviously, I was interested to know more, especially being that I've already worked with other coffee brands in the past.

The conversation started down the path like any other potential client I speak with, what are you looking for, how soon do you need it, estimated budget, etc. But our conversation kept getting deeper into his business and why he was starting this venture. 

It didn't take long for us both to realize we had a very similar outlook to what we were both passionate about. His story was authentic and getting to hear his tale of discovery and purpose firsthand was a kick of motivation for myself when it comes to running my own business. 

Ultimately, we didn't end up working together (bad timing), but when he finally launched his online brand, I had to snag a bag for myself. I'll say this, it's f**ken good. So, if you're looking to try something new, check out and show them some love.

My wife and I are excited to announce that we’re having a baby!!

We’ve accomplished a lot together over the past 6 years but this will be something new altogether. The emotions will be wild and the story is just about to begin as we prepare. Sunday will mark 16 weeks, lands us around in late September.

Little would I have guessed that I would be bringing in this little joy to the world while running my own business, but it’s definitely happening. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, friends, and family, who have been there and supported me over the past 4 years. Through all of the hard times and struggles that I had to face, makes this time in my life worth everything.

And with the strange time we are all living in I can only hope that this news brings some joy to you all. Stay safe and healthy.

A Wednesday necessity.

Got to meet up with some talented people again over at HQ for an event they were hosting. Had a great time with great people. Photography by @ Squarespace

Fresh brew at a fresh new place. on North St.

Had an amazing time at HQ in last week while connecting with other Squarespace developers. Rooftop, sunset, drinks, and great conversations.

My latest personal project is finally COMPLETE. At the beginning of the year I had an idea for a video and what seemed like years in the making is finally complete. I’ve been wanting to update my “Who I am” video for a while and I now have something I'm super pumped about. Even though I've been on my own for over 3 years now, it doesn't make it any easier. Yes, I've learned a lot, and those lessons help me every day, however, I still face the growing pains that every business owner has to deal with.

With that said, I've been super fortunate to have some amazing people in my life that have always supported me with the path I've taken, but it's still a lonely journey I have to walk (as I'm sure a lot of you can relate). This year has been a great example. Even though I've had some awesome projects and worked with some amazing clients, I'm still nowhere near where I should have been at this point. And with the rest of the year coming at us fast, I now at least have one less thing to deal with and can focus on bringing in new clients.

So, here I am, just someone who loves what they do. Please check out my "Who I am" video and pass along the word if you know of anyone who might be looking for a new website. Thanks in advance.
