I'm a web developer and have been doing web programming for over 15 years. When I started, there was no CSS and JavaScript was something you avoided because it barely worked in any browser. My how far we've come.

I'm the CTO of CRE Planning and Development, creators of the RuskinARC Historic Property Management platform. That application is developed in PHP with a MySQL back-end and is used by Miami Beach, FL, Oak Park, IL and Tulsa OK, among others.

I have also been teaching and tutoring programming in groups and one-on-one sessions for over five years. I've taught wide ranging concepts like WordPress development, Ruby on Rails, Java and application development and planning. My style is very informal and focused on getting novices up to speed and building real applications and sites as quickly as possible and in a way that's fully repeatable by them on their own. Many of my students have gone on to build interesting applications and launch themselves into programming careers of their own. I'm now translating those skills into book writing and plan to write focused books to get beginners learning new and valuable skills up and running.
