When I was a Sophomore in college my guidance counselor contacted me for a job. Turned out to be a pretty cool gig and I learned a lot, not just about Flash, but consulting with a larger firm. This was definitely one of my better experiences and they were very sure on what they wanted which is very rare in the consulting business. It took me a total of about 100 hours which is pretty good considering its size. I’d love to do another one but I just dont have the time.

This is one of my first Flash works and I am still very proud of it. Its always hard to create something usable while your learning it for the first time. Flash is very powerful, yet convoluted language involving multiple events at different points in time. Now that I have moved more in the way of engineering I am going to star to learn Flex.

I created this logo when I was 17 for my little consulting firm. I had huge aspirations but I only made enough for beer money. It was a good learning experience and I am lucky to have such an early start.

Lucky for me, I have saved a lot of my work from the past to help remind me of who I was and what I have learned since then. So what did this teach me? Hmm.. that I should probably stick to architecture and engineering ;).

I created this in my e-commerce class for the Governor’s Institute of Vermont. It was a fully case study involving 3 of my other peers. Outside of engineering projects with friends this is the first business-like environment that I was exposed to. It was a great experience and definitely helped me to prepare for the workplace. Unfortunately the site never got launched but here is a working version.

This is also the first larger scale application I have written. I hand rolled a CMS using PHP and MySQL. If I had known more about open source then I probably wouldnt have started from scratch but nevertheless a good experience.

My lifelong friend and soon to be new roommate, set out in the west in search of new experiences. It was an incredible trip across the country and we ended up in an incredible place, San Francisco. I’ve been here since with no sign or turning back. Here are some pictures of our travels.

My Junior year of college in my marketing and design class, we were even given a faux company to create an identity for. Here is what I came up with.
