Web developer & mountain biker. I build websites by hand, and I race bikes up hills for fun.

01 / What I do

I hand-code
websites.

Every site I make starts as an empty file. No templates, no drag-and-drop builder, no theme I bought and reskinned. I write the HTML, the CSS, and whatever JavaScript the thing actually needs, then I make it load fast and rank well.

The results usually come out a little weird. That part's on purpose.

Most of my clients are local businesses that want one really good website, not a monthly subscription to somebody else's software. I build it, I host it, and I keep it running.

03 / Off the clock

When I'm not
building, I'm
climbing.

I race cross-country mountain bikes in the Wasatch Range. Last season I took 4th at the Utah State Championship, which felt a lot better than 5th.

Coding and racing turn out to be the same job. Both are mostly about doing the boring parts well and not getting off the bike on the steep bit.
