From Dial-Up to AI
I built my first website when the internet still made screeching noises to connect. Three decades later, I’m still building — but now with AI as my co-pilot.
Over 30 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across every industry you can imagine. Small businesses, startups, established corporations, colleges — each project taught me something new. That experience isn’t just a number; it’s pattern recognition, problem-solving instinct, and the confidence to know what works.
Today, Pixel Block Studio sits at the intersection of proven web expertise and cutting-edge AI. I use AI to move faster, generate ideas, automate the tedious stuff, and push creative boundaries. But every decision, every design choice, every line of code that matters — that’s human.
Sheridan College Instructor
I teach web development at Sheridan College because I believe the best way to master something is to teach it. My students get real-world skills from someone who actually does this for a living — not theory from a textbook.
This teaching mindset carries into client work. I don’t just build your site and disappear. I make sure you understand what you have, how to use it, and how to grow with it. Education is built into everything I do.
AI Makes Us Faster.
Humans Make It Right.
AI is an incredible tool, but it’s not a replacement for experience, judgment, or creativity. It’s an amplifier. Here’s how I think about it:
Speed Without Shortcuts
AI lets us work 5x faster on the repetitive stuff. That means more time on the creative, strategic work that actually matters.
Quality Over Quantity
AI generates options. Humans curate, refine, and perfect. Every deliverable gets the human touch before it reaches you.
Partnership, Not a Product
You’re not buying a template. You’re getting a partner who cares about your success as much as you do.
Not Your Average Developer
When I’m not coding or teaching, you might find me…
Powered Paragliding
There’s nothing quite like strapping a motor to your back and flying over the countryside. It’s the ultimate perspective shift — and a great metaphor for seeing the big picture in web projects.
Stiltwalking
Yes, really. I’m a professional stiltwalker. It’s taught me balance, showmanship, and how to stand out in a crowd — skills that translate surprisingly well to building brands online.
Let’s Build Something Together
Whether you have a detailed brief or just a vague idea, I’d love to hear about it.
