Based in Santa Barbara, he has been a Wild Apricot consultant since 2010, building custom integrations and API-driven solutions that bridge design and technical workflows. His background includes senior editorial roles in mobile and portable computing publishing and account management/art direction for videogame industry clients, giving him a rare mix of editorial, technical, and marketing sensibilities.
