I make websites, graphic design campaigns. I make teams better by being a part of them. I write, develop and I like helping people boost their expectations. And love my town.
Technical Writing
The world needs more inspiration, better stories and clearer communication. That's my job because I made it my job. As a client you'll get clear instructions and a better understanding of the service and product you are paying for. You'll be as self-sufficient as you want to be.
Family
My wife is from Japan. Our son is fantastic. I wish I could share more here, but I promise there are some photos of him around the site somewhere.
Learning and Training

I wrote a book in 2005 on the Adobe Graphics Suite (CS2) which has helped thousands of new creatives and students learn the Adobe Creative Suite. I haven't written a technical book since then. Why? Because a short while after my book was published, YouTube and other video sites were born. There's still a great deal of usefulness in print books, but I prefer writing for the web and making video walk-throughs which are supplemented by good writing.
