Strategic web design and digital experiences for museums, nonprofits, and purpose-driven organizations. [Start a Conversation](#contact) [My Story](#story) Now building faster and better with AI (Grok + Claude) while keeping the same care for craft. The Cable Center / Syndeo Institute Colorado Museums Nonprofits & Cultural Orgs Purpose-Driven Brands THE WORK THAT SHAPED ME ## 13 years at The Cable Center changed everything. In 2009 I walked into The Cable Center in Denver and they asked if I could learn ColdFusion. I said yes. I built their entire main website from scratch that year and stayed for 13 years as their lead web and digital person. I quietly rescued their entire video archive after a server hack. Those backups became the only clean copies of irreplaceable oral histories and Hall of Fame programs. I reverse-engineered broken 2007 Flash kiosks so visitors could still interact with exhibits — and I still bring that same archival content back online today using modern safe techniques. I led the creation of a full VR recreation of the entire building in Unity. You can still walk through it on a Meta Quest or via Steam — picking up artifacts and stepping into 360° video. [View the VR Archive on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/612440/The_Cable_Center__Virtual_Archive/) All of that taught me one thing: The best digital experiences aren’t about the latest trend. They’re about respecting the story and building something that lasts. TODAY ## 30+ years of craft. AI superpowers. I still do everything I always did — strategic thinking, beautiful design, technical problem-solving, and deep respect for your mission — except now I deliver it dramatically faster and more affordably using Grok and Claude as creative partners. Same obsessive quality. Same personal attention. Much better economics for organizations that need it. 30+ Years building websites that outlive trends 1 Full VR building recreation still used in 2026 ∞ AI-accelerated iterations per project 1 Human who actually answers the phone WHAT I BRING ## A rare combination of craft and speed. Deep Technical Range From ColdFusion and Flash rescue to modern static sites, headless CMS, and AI-assisted workflows. I can work with whatever platform actually serves your organization best. Mission-First Thinking I don’t just build websites. I help organizations tell stories that deserve to last. Museums and nonprofits have been my focus because their work matters more than most. AI-Accelerated Delivery I use Grok and Claude daily as creative partners. This means faster concepts, sharper copy, better visuals — and lower costs for you without sacrificing quality or personal attention. SELECTED WORK ## Projects that mattered.
