About
I geek out on a well-designed user experience. Over the years I have evolved from a designer to a digital problem solver, always curious to learn how everything works together to create that experience. Figuring out and implementing new tech makes me happy. Focusing on the data to help make websites more efficient, profitable, and user-friendly.
Fun Fact
I played hockey in college and I am a die hard Carolina Hurricanes fan.
Disc Golf Experience
My introduction to the sport of Disc Golf was while I was attending East Carolina University, pursuing a degree in Communication Arts. In 1997, My roommate invited me to join him and his friends for a round at the course on campus. I have been hooked on the sport ever since that first tree.
With a fully developed obsession with throwing a disc and battling every course I could find, I made my first trip to the United States Disc Golf Championship in Rock Hill, SC. After taking in everything the most amazing experience in disc golf has to offer, I overheard the TD, Jonathan Poole, asking if anyone had experience updating websites. I didn’t hesitate to become a part of the most amazing volunteer staff in the sport, and I took the role very seriously.
I guess I did an acceptable job since I was invited back year after year. Along with some very creative and talented people, Mike Norris, Chris ‘Stick’ McLeod, and I developed ways for the fans at home to follow the excitement. If you are a seasoned golfer, you may remember following the action by watching “The Dots”. We found a way to create a fraction of the excitement for fans at home that the attendees were experiencing. We also wanted to give them a reason to show up in person next year.
