A Little Bit About Me

I love making websites, plain and simple. I enjoy crafting a project from the ground up, putting your ideas on a screen. The ever-present challenge of a new project on the horizon keeps me motivated and disciplined. Living in the Chicago area has given me oodles of experience that I would be hard pressed to gain in other markets, and I hope it stays that way for a long time.

Featured Project (in development)

  • Multiple Users (unlimited)
  • Secure authentication
  • Address Book
  • Blacklisting
  • Template Management
  • Dynamic Templates
  • And more...

Hey there!

As a web developer, it is my job to support all browsers to ensure that the user experience is consistent across all platforms and browsers. In addition, I see it as my duty to ensure that you are experiencing the best that my websites have to offer, and all of the web sites that I develop reflect that philosophy.

However, this is my professional portfolio, and as a professional, I must inform you that the browser you are using is extremely obsolete and severely limiting your experience of the web. As such, I strongly encourage you to upgrade to one of the many modern browsers available. Not only will this increase the richness of your web experience, but the latest released versions of these browsers are much more secure than the browser you are using now.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to showing you what I have to offer!

Sincerely,


Brian

Please choose one of the following browsers. I highly recommend Firefox, but any of these are going to provide you with a much higher quality experience on the web.
