I am a creative professional working with digital imagery, websites, photography, music, and audio recording for over 20 years. I am the owner & operator of PIXELS & WAVES - a creative company offering services in web design, graphic design, photography, custom music, and audio production.
I have a wanderlust wife and two amazing children that keep me inspired and on my toes. Add to the mix a few slightly crazy dogs (Sidekick, S’mores and Blueberry) and there’s always something going on.
I’ve gone from casually writing music in my free time to creating music professionally with bigcloudmusic. Genres that I produce music in vary and include finger-style acoustic guitar, alternative rock, contemporary, pop and more.
Photography is near and dear to me. I have a few side projects related to taking pictures. iliketotake.pictures is a simple website that holds a few photos. Reallife.pictures, is another. Many of the photos you see there are avaible to download for free on Unsplash.
I’m just as passionate about building websites. I like to write clean acessible code that executes efficiently. This site is an example of that. I am using Hugo to build the site. I’ve chosen to go with a publicly available theme called PaperMod. It has a minimal look that I crave and well-written code I would create myself. On my list of things I want to do is a new theme from the ground up. But for now, PaperMod suits my needs just fine. This site is hosted on Netlify and content is managed via Cloud Cannon.
I like sharing the equipment and tools I use. My uses page lists much of what I use to make things.
