About

I currently run a web development company called visicswire. I partnered with Jonathan Greene to start this company. We have been working together for more than 2 years but our company is only a little more than a year old. Check out the ever-growing list of work we're doing.

I am also slowly attempting to work my way into my position as the technical director for digital web magazine. I deal with fixing old applications, developing new applications, and generally just making sure the site continues to run.

I'm attending night classes at the Illinois Institute of Technology working towards my Master of Science degree in Information Architecture. We have a joke about IIT amongst the students: "There's no T in IIT." (And it's true, if there's any technology around, I haven't seen it.) We mostly just have crazy architecture.

I was a staff member at Columbia College Chicago working in the Photography Department for two and a half years. I took care of the department's computer network and other technology related items. I built a site for the photography department's domain and a web application to handle lab equipment reservation.

I was a founding member of another company, called Black Point Editions, with three other Columbia College students. This company's business is the production of gallery quality prints for artists at reasonable (and sometimes downright cheap) prices.

Black Point Editions specializes in black & white printing through a system that goes by many names, but is commonly called Piezography by users, such as ourselves, of Jon Cone's excellent ink system. We don't limit ourselves to black and white, though, we also do some amazing things with color printing techniques.

My past experience includes a two and a half year stint as an associate with Apogee Strategies LLC. This job entailed the maintenance of small-business networks, workstations, and servers. The majority of systems and servers I worked on during my tenure at Apogee were Windows-based, with the exception of two Macintosh-based businesses. Other responsibilities included advising clients on uses of technology within their business and industry, creating initial coded versions of websites from designer-produced Photoshop documents, and maintaining Apogee's internal systems.

I received a B.A. in Interactive Multimedia from Columbia College Chicago in December of 2005. While taking classes to achieve this degree, I studied programming, information design, graphic design, and management practices (both for businesses and for projects).

Friend --

What is pictured is NOT a birth certificate! Perhaps if you read the certificate's title, you'd realize that the paper is a certificate of live birth, a document which is not acceptable for passport, driver's license, or any other legal purpose. Why …
