Experience
Technology backed by real-world leadership.
My work spans website strategy, design, content, search visibility, e-commerce, digital advertising, analytics, AI-assisted production, and long-term maintenance. I have owned the complete process—from the first idea and domain name through launch, measurement, and continual improvement.
Web development since 1998
Started professionally creating websites for recording artists through Beach Road Records in Hampton, Virginia.
WordPress since 2014
More than ten sites built, redesigned, or managed across publishing, education, media, business, and e-commerce.
BBA, Business Management
Graduated in 2004 with a practical foundation in management, marketing, operations, and organizational decision-making.
Twenty years in Fire & Rescue
Firefighter-paramedic and eleven-year Fire Lieutenant responsible for safety, planning, logistics, training, and emergency command.
Capabilities
From strategy to daily stewardship.
I build websites as working organizational systems—not isolated design projects. The goal is to help the right people find trustworthy information and take a clear next step.
WordPress & Web

Content & Campaigns
Eleven years running Facebook, Instagram, and marketplace advertising, including creative, targeting, budgets, and performance review.

Practical use of ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Midjourney, Ideogram, Tripo, Suno, and other tools for coding, research, design, content, apps, 3D, and media.
Business Operations

Training & Leadership
Eleven years of command leadership and two years developing educational programming for fire academies and high-risk emergency operations.

How I work
Patient, practical, and invested in people.
I approach technology the same way I approach leadership and teaching: understand the person in front of me, make the complicated understandable, and build systems people can confidently use after launch.
Good digital work is not simply code. It is listening, organizing, teaching, documenting, and steadily improving the experience for staff and visitors alike.
Why WCRC
A meaningful next chapter.
After twenty years in the fire service, I am looking toward work where I can continue serving people in a different setting. Much of my career has involved meeting people on some of the worst days of their lives. In retirement, I would like to support a place where people come together, create positive memories, and grow closer to Christ.
WCRC’s grounds bring back memories of the youth-group retreats I attended through Hampton Baptist Church. My service has included teaching a couples’ Sunday school class and playing in the worship band at Mathers Baptist Church from 2017 through 2019.
I am interested in a focused, long-term relationship with WCRC—not building a roster of freelance clients. Being present and involved would allow me to understand the organization firsthand, work directly with staff, and shape its website from the lived WCRC experience rather than managing code from a distance.
Availability
Flexible by design.
Available for planning, transition, and project work before retirement, with expanded availability beginning August 2027.
