Hi there. That's me in Honduras watching a sunset from the island of Roatán. It might look like my eyes are closed but that's just how they get when I smile real big.

I try to think of recording and design as different forms of information engineering, and the aural and visual elements of the user experience as delivery systems for that information. The goal is always effective communication of an idea, whether it's a sentiment or a slogan or a user interface metaphor.

I do a lot of reading on sites that are part of The Deck network, especially Kottke, Daring Fireball, and Coudal Partners. I'm continually amazed at what people are capable of.

I grew up on an apple orchard near San Diego, California with a lot of dogs and a big sister.
